Abiding

What if what we did today impacted our tomorrows?  Well, that is true.  What we do today we will sow later.  God does reward those who earnestly seek him.  Will we choose kindness?  Will we choose to abide in Christ now, spending time with the Lord in prayer instead of wasting it, like the man with the talents who was afraid and said that God reaps where He has not sown?  Could a person choose to set aside that pointless videogame they're convicted about (I know, kind-of a weird/out there one, maybe for some person who exists somewhere who EVER reads this and it's for them)?  Could they choose to clean a room up even when it's hard?  Could we choose to pray for that man we pass by at the grocery store?  But the goal of all this is to abide in Christ.  With Him, we bear much fruit, like raspberries blooming so much that bucketloads come in the house from the raspberry patches in the backyard...
