The Parable of the Fig Tree (Luke 13:1-9, Isaiah 55:1-9)

LENT – a spiritual spring cleaning:

• a time for taking spiritual inventory and then clearing out those things which get in the way of our relationship with Jesus
• a time to nourish our relationship with Jesus by spending more time with Him.

This Lent, in what ways can you spend more time with Jesus and, in so doing, bear the fruits of that closer relationship, fruits or qualities such as joy, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5)?
