This morning I have spent time in God's Word just asking Him to prepare me for what's to come. He is not finished with me yet! Psalm 118:1 says "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." I sort of have a fascination with trees..I don't care to know which type scientifically they are..I just like to look at them.
As I was walking to class I saw that this tree was half full and half empty of leaves. This quickly brought a picture of my life in front me. Do I always shine Jesus in EVERYTHING I do, or do I do it halfheartedly? Just like a tree, during the spring and summer it's full and bearing life but as fall approaches it looses it's leaves and the life of the tree begins to fade away. That's us! That's us! We take God's grace for granted! When we accepted Christ, we repented our sins which meant to turn away. Why do we fall in and out of grace? You can't halfway live. You either are alive or dead. Like the tree, it's halfway to death. Choose life! There is no time left to wait! God's call for your life is with urgency. All you have to do is choose Jesus so that you can be full of leaves all year, in every circumstance, and in every moment! God is sovereign. He is good and for that, we praise His name! He waits patiently for you to run full force into His arms. His love will endure forever! Don't be like a tree and halfway be alive. Let Jesus breathe His mighty breath on you today! Today, what will you do in order to show that your tree is alive and still growing in the midst of fall occurring around you?
