Spring is here! We have had a hint or two of it in our area,
with promised warm weather and sunshine this weekend. Oh, how wonderful it is
to think of going outside without coats, warm sunshine, lovely smells from the lilac
and honeysuckle!
With spring, comes the budding of leaves and the reviving
trees. The Bible speaks of believers as being like a tree. "And he shall
be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in
his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper." (Psalm 1:3).
There are all kinds of trees. What kind of tree are you? Are
you strong and unwavering, like a mighty oak with roots deep in the ground? Are
you sad and droopy, like a weeping willow? Are you a little sapling that is
weak and fragile, bending and breaking with any strong wind or resistance? Are
you a cactus, prickly, hard, inaccessible? Are you a fruit tree, providing sweetness
and sustenance to others? Are you a shade tree, providing shelter and comfort
when the days are hot and long? Are you an evergreen, unwavering and strong
even when the long cold days come? Are you a lilac or dogwood, showing beauty
to those around you?
The truth is, Christians should all be bearing some kind of
fruit…being some kind of help to others. We are also branches, grafted into the
vine (Jesus). I hope I'm a tree that brings honor to Him.
Just some thoughts from my heart….to yours. May your day be
blessed and your heart be happy.
Goodness I never thought about what kind of tree I would be..you are always giving us something to think about....
