God knows us and He loves us as we are. He knows what we are capable of on our own, and He knows what we can do in his power. God knows all of this... even when our own hearts tell us that we fall short and our enemy whispers to us that God wouldn’t possibly want to love us as we witness racism around the world. God is greater than our hearts. God chooses to lavish His deep and overflowing love on us.
This love overflows from God’s heart to our hearts, and it should then overflow into love for those around us. These are difficult times and just holding up a Bible in front of a church speaks nothing, but love will conquer.

Fruitfulness
Perhaps the greatest impediment to fruitfulness is that we are notoriously conditioned to be consumers. It's easy to take for granted just how much we are habituated to consume and how that affects our ability to be fruitful. Consumption, of course, is a normal part of life. We need food, clothing, housing, and many other necessities. What challenges fruitfulness, however, is a preoccupation with consumption that outpaces the corresponding role we are to play as producers. Pray and implement your vision to be fruitful. We got this!
