Leah, the unloved wife of Jacob, tried to earn his love by bearing him, children. She said, “Now he’ll love me.” Some people think like Leah concerning God. If we bear enough fruit, if we’re good enough, or do the right thing, then He will love us. Well, that was Leah’s mistake. You never bear a child so that your husband will love you, you bear a child because your husband does love you. The child is the fruit of that love. So with God, you don’t bear God’s fruit so that He will love you. You bear God’s fruit because He does love you. The fruit of your life; the good works, the love, the joy, the holiness, the self-control, that’s the fruit of God loving you. We’re not fruitful to make God love us, we can’t. But if God loves us without any reason on our part, then we can bear the fruit of God miraculously. So stop trying to earn the love of God. You are loved. In that love go forth and bear Him fruit, the fruit of His love in you.
From Message #541 - The Children Of Leah
Today, get into the joy of how much God loves you without any cause or condition – then go in that love and bear the fruit you’ve been called to bear.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:3
