"You are a tree.
A beautiful tree... and you are your own tree... with your own different and unique characteristics. Branches that spread and flourish... yet no fruit is being produced. You certainly look like a tree that's different... but how will you be recognized without any fruit? How will you live on without the reproductive seeds within fruit?
Matthew 7:16-21
'By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.'"

I'm honestly scared.

I see fruit dude. Your confrontation in class the other day. Your love for neighbors in need. It's fruit. It's love.
