Fruitful

There is a passage I recently read that prompted yet another self examination that I want to share.  Ezekiel 47: 1-12--'The River from the Temple'.  Particularly, inquisitive words in verses 9 and12.

(9)- Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. ........so where the river
flows everything will live.
(12)- Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither,
nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the
sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.
                   
This river flowed from the Temple and yielded much fruit/life wherever it was present.  To parallel, I must ask myself, 'what type,if any or how much, fruit yielding substance is flowing from myself (temple)?  Am I the light of Christ,encouraging, kind, serving, compassion, loving, etc. to those where my life flows?  I challenge us all to live the life God calls us to as children of His.....to let godliness and Jesus flow from our temple/lives.........and allow God to yield many souls.  Blessings in your pursuit.......TO
