Faithful with or without fruit

It has become normal to crave fast results. Many want to skip the hard work and find the "quick way". We want the blessings but not the brokenness. Will we still be obedient when we don't get fast results? What happens if we never see the fruit of our efforts? Will we still be faithful to the Lord? A huge part of following Christ is waiting, enduring barren seasons, times of deep loneliness...why? Not because God is harsh but because these are the times He refines us, teaches us, and is close to us. These are the moments we truly get to know Him.

The scriptures are filled with examples of this truth lived out. It comes down to our hearts. God doesn't want our offerings and garments...He wants a heart of repentance (Joel 2: 12-13).
