I was worried. Am I growing enough ‘spiritually’ and are my fruits growing and showing? I’m wanting so hard to have fatty yummy fruits. Is there a growth or decline? There’s so much opportunity to have growth, but I just can’t seem to hold on to my part. The discipline to push through, on and out with it all.
Oh noes, there the enemy comes as well to steal the little bitty of progress I’ve made. I might have to start all over again! Ugh.
Trees
Look at the tree, little buddy. Do they worry whether the next day they will be cut off 5 feet in height, or make a bothersome effort to gain 3 feet in height by tomorrow?
The tree doesn’t worry about that. More so, it would be ridiculous to think that is a probable scenario. The tree just feeds, absorbing water and nutrients from the soil through its root system, and growth comes naturally. Not through strain and hurry, but by abiding in, getting it’s roots deeper into and absorbing from the nutritious soil. Not growing a few feet a day, but more like one or a few feet per year.
Be like like the tree, my friend. Don’t worry about growing, just abide, feed and let my nature do the rest.
