Fruitfulness Begins with Faithfulness
If you are faithful to be a good steward over what God has placed in your hands today, he will continue to place more things in your hand. It is hard to be fruitful when you spend your life scrolling through everyone else’s life. It is hard to be fruitful when you spend your life competing with others. It is hard to be fruitful when you constantly compare your life with someone else’s. It is hard to be fruitful if you spend your life wishing you had another life. It is hard to be fruitful when you do not put your hand to your plough because you don’t like the one you have. It is hard to be fruitful if you are constantly complaining, cynical or discontent. The only way to live the life and purpose God has for you, is to actually start living your life. Today is a good day to stop wishing for another life, begin living your life. If you are faithful with what God has placed in your hands now, God will be able to trust you with what’s in your heart later. Trust him. He is faithful.

Fruitfulness begins with faithfulness—right where you are, with what you have. It’s easy to believe the lie that our purpose lies somewhere out there, in someone else’s story or a life we wish we had. But God doesn’t bless imaginary lives; He blesses surrendered ones. When we spend our days scrolling, comparing, or complaining, we miss the quiet miracles hidden in our own field. God has placed something in your hands today—a task, a calling, a relationship, a moment—and He invites you to tend it with care. It may seem small, even overlooked, but faithfulness in the small is often the soil where greater things grow. When we stop striving for someone else’s harvest and start ploughing our own field, our hearts begin to align with God’s pace and purpose. The path to fruitfulness is not flashy or fast; it’s rooted in daily trust and humble obedience. God doesn’t ask for perfection—He asks for presence. So show up to your life. Tend your gifts. Water what’s in your care. And trust that in due time, God will open doors, expand your influence, and fulfill the desires He Himself planted in your heart. He is faithful—and as you are faithful with today, He is preparing you for tomorrow. —DH
