Kid’s Devotional:
God will help you bear fruit if you do not know how. To bear fruit you have to have your heart turned toward God. You need the love of Jesus in your heart!!!! When he’s in you He comes out of you. When you do nice things to others you will have nice things done to you and bear fruit. Pretend you are a tree. When you do nice things your fruit begins to grow. You can bear fruit by complimenting someone when they do a good job. You can also bear fruit when you help your parents do chores around the house. Saying thank you to your parents or grandparents produces fruit. Fruit grows when you give time to people, listen to people, love people, or care for people. It is also kind when you say please and thank you. Don’t let satan pick your fruit from your tree. Pretend satan is a robber and he comes to your tree to steal. Guard your fruit from his arrows. God can be your protector and shield you from satan when you grow good fruit.
Power Verse: John 15:5
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
