It was very hard to select just a few verses from this great chapter which is why I had to split it into two parts so it would fit into the publishing limit (1000 characters).
When a tree bears fruit it is good because it produces a sweet tasting food by a product of its strong foundation and upkeep. The same is with us. We are capable of bearing fruit by sharing the great word of god to others who maybe never even have heard such a message. This strengthens our relationship with God, but also gives the opportunity of eternal life to others! That right there is without a doubt the greatest gift anyone could ever give.
As Matthew 6:19 says: " 19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Amen

 clipped from www.biblegateway.com3We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints— 5the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel 6that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth. 9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might
