Inner Fruitfulness

"I am the vine; you are the branches."

— John 15:5

Creator God,

As the gardener prepares the soil to bear fruit, I want to cultivate my inner fruitfulness. This capacity to create, to generate something new, to bear fruit in my life.

What do I want to bring forth this year? What projects, what relationships, what works want to bloom? Help me prepare the ground: remove the stones of fear, till the soil of my heart, sow with intention.

Give me the patience of one who sows, knowing that everything takes time. May I water faithfully, trust in what grows invisibly in the soil, and rejoice in the harvest in its time.

Amen.

Reflection

What do you want to grow in your life this year? Identify one seed you can plant today, even symbolically.

For all those who desire to create and bear fruit in their lives.
