While doing some research on my backyard grapevine, which surprises me every year by surviving another northern Canadian winter, I stumbled across the word terroir. Terroir is used by wine tasters to describe how the soil in which a grapevine grows affects the taste of the fruit and therefore the wine. If my spiritual roots are in the soil of selfishness, I won’t be able to live an unselfish life. The fruit of a life rooted in selfishness is more selfishness. However, if my spiritual roots are deep in God’s love, God’s love changes me, helping me to be the person God created me to be.
Today’s devotion and prayer is taken from Fruit Full: 100 Family Experiences for Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit, by Christie Thomas.
