When I started believing in Christ, I noticed that every Christian I met was filled with life, just like a Tree of Life
As we grow spiritually, our roots go deeper, making us stronger, standing tall and unyielding against the storms of life that try to uproot us. The firmness of our faith becomes obvious, and we are less easily swayed by the challenges we encounter. When we mature, we can produce seeds that fall to the ground and create new life. Our tree becomes a place of shelter and security for others, just like birds find refuge in the branches of a strong tree, others find peace and support in our presence.
We become a source of comfort, encouragement and spiritual guidance to those who are in need. We can offer shade and security to those who are just starting to grow. The seeds born from our own transformation have the potential to take root in others' lives.
_Proverbs 11:30 – “The Fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and whoever captures souls is wise.”_
We become instruments of God’s love and grace, spreading the seeds of faith and nurturing the growth of others. Our purpose extends beyond ourselves.
May we continue to flourish as living examples of the Tree of Life, enriching the lives of those around us and making a lasting impact through the seeds we sow. Amen.
