A Blessing for Your Fruit to Multiply

As God blessed Adam and Eve,
I bless you to bear fruit and
“Multiply.”

The Lord, of course, envisioned
The multiplication of their family,
But the primal blessing means so much more—
It means to have the spiritual fruit of your life
Grow by something greater than addition.

God’s vision for the fruit of your life
Is not “two plus two equals four.”

God’s arithmetic is exponential:
“Two times two is four
Times two is eight
Times two is sixteen
Times two is thirty-two…”

The spiritual fruit of your life,
The seeds of love that you sow,
Bear a kind of fruit that contains the power
To multiply exponentially as those you bless
Bless others.

May every good thing in you multiply through you!
