Walking with God—Bearing Fruit That Last - July 25, 2025 (St. James the Apostle)

“I chose you from the world, to go and bear fruit that will last.” — John 15:16



God’s Daily Call

In today’s quiet moment of grace, we’re reminded that faith is not just something we hold—it’s something we live. It’s the rhythm of our walk with God: ordinary steps, extraordinary presence.

Saint Paul puts it simply:
“We believe and therefore speak.” (2 Corinthians 4:13)
Even in the quiet, our belief seeks expression—not always in grand gestures, but in daily acts of love, mercy, and truth.


Chosen for the Everyday Mission

Jesus says: “I chose you.”
Not because you’ve achieved greatness. Not because you earned it.
But because grace always goes first.

And He calls us not just to stay close—but to go.
To bear fruit that doesn’t fade with time, but blesses others long after today ends.


Let’s pause and ask ourselves:

  • Where did I walk with God today?
  • Did my faith express itself—in kindness, in courage, in compassion?
  • What fruit am I being asked to bear—here, now, in the ordinary?

Challenge for the Day

As we step into this day, let’s welcome God’s invitation:

  • Speak from your belief, even if it’s just a whisper of encouragement or truth.
  • Bear fruit in one simple way—through presence, trust, or mercy.
  • Walk knowing that you are chosen—not to stay still, but to go.

Go and bear fruit that will last for God is moving. And grace is growing.
