I have been battling with the feeling of fruitlessness. As one who confess to follow Christ, I don't bear fruit. I brought this up when I came to church a few weeks ago, and just now got a letter from someone at the Congregational Care. It is such a personal touch to my heart and I will remember it forever as a show of care from my church and from God. Here is what it says:

Dear Elian,

I am writing in response to you thinking you are missing something being a follower of Christ. I will pray this over you.

Colossians 1:9-11,12:
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom & understanding, and we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way. Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and may you be filled with joy always thanking the Father...

May you trust in Him and lean on Him and not your own understanding. May He give you the desire of your heart & make all your plans succeed.

You are loved,
Mona
