It starts from somewhere inside you. You can't stop it, it's just who you are...you can't even help it. It heats up like a warm spring, bubbles up like waters in a sauna, and rises up like forceful conventional heat currents that have no choice but to rise...higher and higher, and higher into a distant place in the sky. It can't decline and refuse the path that has been paved for it, it either comes out of you as something to be acknowledged or something to be despised. It is you and you are it, this thing on the inside of you. It is intertwined with the ropes of your spirit, interjected by the thoughts of your soul.
"...every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush..." (Luke 6:43)
The things that come out of you are only an illustration of your "fruity peculiarity." You are like a tree planted by waters, but you are the owner of the roots and you direct the path you want the roots to take. Your roots could either go in the direction of the soothing and life-giving water, or you could direct them into an arid dry desert land (towards the opposite side).
At the end of the day, the key lies in your hands to be peculiar in a "fruity" way. No one will come to you for healing if you don't have the right words; no one will come for provision if you can't show kindness in simple and small ways; no one will come for laughter if you can't crack jokes; no one will come for lessons if you can't show any iota of brilliance; no one will come for your celebration when you are a dead-looking "frowner"; no one will smile at you if you never smile at anyone; no one will listen to you if you have no visions, goals, or dreams.
Who are you? What is your life about? Are you just merely existing, or do you know the reason why you're here? If you don't know, I'll let you in on a little secret. You were BORN for a golden purpose that no one else will do. If you don't do that which you were born to do, it will just be the loss of one more wasted life. God created you to be a solution to a problem...and you need to find that problem and solve it. You are PECULIAR, but in a FRUITY kind of way, such that if I should come near you today I should be able to smell the fruitiness of your future. You are a tree that needs to produce fruits, and by your fruits we will know that you are utilizing the things God has placed inside of you.
Everyone has a fruity peculiarity, but many haven't found theirs yet. How can you find it? By giving your life completely to Jesus. He's the only way...I can't tell you any other way, because I've tried Him and yes, I've found myself, my niche, my dwelling place, and a way to produce the fruits I was born to bear. Why else would you think I'd want to write about it? It's the only way...there's only one way to bear much fruits. Try this way.
May your own land yield its increase...(Psalm 85:12)...but you have to find that land first.

YESOOOO...
JESUS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE...
I love every bit of your blog...thank you so much for your inspirations.
Beautiful post. Fruity peculiarity starts with Christ and ends with him. You said it all there is no other way.
As the psalmist said, those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in his courts, their leaves shall not die and whatever they do will prosper. So its starts by being planted and rooted in Christ.
Thanks for sharing.

What if it's in front of me and I can't see it, what if it's not yet time for me to bear fruits?
I feel deep down inside that I was born to be great, significant.
But.....I can't see it. Yet.
I know so, because I have all types of people from every class speaking of me in ways I haven't seen myself yet.
*sigh*
I worry about my "great" calling.
I just wish I know what exactly it is.
Beautiful post.
Have a lovely week
Your post challenges me to be the best I can be and bear fruit. I've put one of my dreams in fruition. Hope God upholds me.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice week.
lord jesus come into my life...pls help me say Amen
nice post
Sirius...I want to tell you that I know how you feel, but I know you won't believe me. But one thing I know is that, trust me, there are no lies in God's book. One scripture sums it up in a place where a man did not know the reason why he was born...his name was Jeremiah, and this is what God said to him in Jeremiah 1:4, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
I am guessing that before Jeremiah knew about himself, he must have thought he was an ordinary person...infact possibly less than ordinary, because he felt he was only a "youth" and useless in the place where elders of the land stood. Meanwhile, his tongue had already been designed by God to prophesy about many things that were to come.
It doesn't matter how "lesser" than greatness you feel right now, it has ALREADY been written about you in the Volumes of His book...
Also, in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope..."
Sunnyside...I say "AMEN" with you...God sees you wherever you are right now, and I pray that your eyes will be open right now to see God the way He's really supposed to be seen...now that you've received Him, He will start to teach you "secret things," as far as your heart is open to learn more...and more...and more...
this song is on repeat in my sisters house
words are too true
one more wasted life......
the ultimate sadness....
Thanks Jaycee....
I guess, I will be steadfast while I wait on the Lord.
I pray He gives me the foresight to know when it's time- In fact I know He will.
Thanks a lot.
