While driving down lincoln.. a random thought came to me.. (as usual..)
Saw a leaf fall and thought.. ‘leaves are so useless..’
they’re so weak.. so thin.. fall so easily.. people step on it… make the roads messy…
they’re funny looking.. they just seem so useless…
and then a tree came into my view.. and each individual leaf came alive on the tree..
OMG~! And all these thoughts flooded in…
Each leaf seems so useless, but actually is the energy producer of the tree!
Leaves take in sunlight and convert it to energy to grow the tree..
So without leaves, the tree can’t get grow.. and can’t bear fruit..
And then when a leaf dies it becomes nutrients for the roots to take up…
God is so funny…!!
Why, instead of making one huge thing to produce energy for the tree, would He make so many small leaves to grow a huge tree..
And then God showed me..
That’s like Christians and the Church (Kingdom of God)!
We’re the leaves and the tree is the Church!
Just like there are many leaves on a tree, there are many of us in the Church.
Each leaf seems so insignificant, but each leaf is so essential…
And each are faithfully taking in the sunlight to grow the tree… Just like us!
As each of us faithfully take in God, the Church grows!
So we must be faithful… And the Church will grow and bear fruit.
However many leaves are left on the tree…. I must be faithful.. God will keep me faithful…
all while driving down lincoln ave… hehe =)
