About this Quote

This quote by Edwin Louis Cole speaks with the importance of bearing fruit in our lives. Our Lord never condemned the fig tree for producing excessive fruit, even if some of it was up to the ground and ruined. Rather, He just cursed it when it was barren. This recommends that God is more worried with the quality of our lives than the amount of our accomplishments. He desires that we bear fruit, even if it is imperfect, instead of stay stagnant and unproductive. This quote motivates us to strive for quality in our lives, to be efficient and to flourish, even if it is not perfect.

We should make every effort to bear fruit in our lives, even if it is imperfect, and trust that God will bless us for our efforts.
