Multiplication has always been part of God's plan since He formed humanity in His Image. We should desire multiplication because we want those around us to hear the gospel's Good News. God does not want us to hoard the fruit of Spirit, but by our fruit, those around us should know we are His and desire Him. Multiplication is bittersweet because there is a cost to welcome others into God's family and mission. But it is glorious to see those who once were orphans now adopted as sons and daughters of the King.
