You cannot grow fruit by solely focusing on the fruit itself. You pay attention to the root making sure it's being tended to and nutured. How foolish would it be to try and clean off a bruised fruit? To nuture and protect a rotten fruit? Oh to be wise in this: Trying to hold back the floodgates of sin by myself I can never do apart from Christ. I need to nuture and tend to my relationship with God. By protecting the roots I am growing much spiritual fruit in my life. Jesus help me not to become obsessed with all the dead fruit I constantly keep bearing. I must trust in the roots of my salvation and not pamper the sinful fruits in me. I know because you are the root of my life you will cut off any branch in me and prune any dead fruit in me.
