Repentance Fruit

While doing my devos today, this scripture jumped out at me:


"Produce fruit in keeping with repentance." (Luke 3:8)


Often in our sermons we hear references to the "fruit of the Spirit" - and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will certainly produce fruit in your life.


But this scripture indicates that true repentance will also produce some fruit, too!  Hmm.  Somehow I think it's more than just a few tears when you're "caught" but some true CHANGE.  As my husband often describes it - if you were walking north before repentance, then you make a U-turn and head south as quickly as possible!


So, how about some repentance oranges or apples?  Or a big juicy repentance strawberry?  Some days, I have a regular ole fruit salad with all the repenting I'm doing.  :)
