5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6] There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

7] He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

8] He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

Psalm 119:105 NIV

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV

16] All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

17] so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Sowing the best… Planting the best…

Mat 7:17-20

17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

• We are a result of the things sown into our life, either by other people or by ourselves.

• Now, that we have a healed heart, we can unlearn sowing bad things and start learning to sow good things, the best things, so that we will reap the fruit of the best!

TODAY, YOU CAN DECIDE

> WHAT KIND OF TREE YOU WILL BE,

> WHAT KIND OF FRUIT WILL YOU BEAR IN YOUR LIFE…
