What Are You Known For?

My pastor says we must be known by our fruit, not our intentions. Do you know people who always mean well, but...? When taking inventory, have we been fruit producers? Jesus said the world would know us by the fruit we produce.

Matthew 12:33 MKJV
(33) Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit.

What does inventory reveal? Is there 'anything' growing? Blooms? If there is fruit, is it the good kind, or the corrupt kind? You can always tell when people around you leave feeling a little more full, or a little sicker. Good fruit draws a crowd. Bad fruit draws flies.
