What Is My Fruit?
As I look toward my next work, a verse has come to mind:
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. (Matthew 7:21 NIV)
It is not a denial that I see here, but an encouragement to follow after truth. This makes more sense in context of the verses previous:
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. (Matthew 7:18-20 NIV)
What fruit am I bearing? My art is but a small part of the whole picture; yet I wish to bear good fruit in every aspect of my life. Perhaps this work may allow some time to reflect on this.
