Picked an apple and pears off some trees today. I love picking fruit right off a tree or from Boney's. I love fruit. It's beautiful and healthy and tastes sweet and it just grows! I used the fruit for a pressure point massage on my back and neck, so fruit even feels good, then I drew it with my water color pencils....fun fruit!
It also made me think. I remembered when I was a kid and I'd think ..."Why am I not a tree? I could just stand there and eat sunlight, drink from my roots, lift my arms up to heaven and bear fruit. " I could help birds, and bugs, and picnicers... I wanta be a tree!
Well I don't get to be a tree, no matter how perfect I think they are. But did you know that they all belong to me. I don't really know exactly what this means but somehow, someway Everything belongs to little me.
1Cor. 3:21b Actually everything belongs to you: 22 Paul, Apollos, and Peter; this world, life and death, the present and the future—all these are yours, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
It's cool that I found this verse today, I've never noticed it before although I've probably read it a thousand times or at least more than a hundred times. It fits in so well with my thoughts about trees. Well I think that's actually the point. Everything fits together very well. God has these unseen connections everywhere.
Maybe when I was a kid and now too that sense that it's all so perfect, is symbolized by a beautiful, useful fruit tree. All this perfection is ours if we belong to Messiah who is in God. Successful people, the whole world, life and death, even time is ours! The Lord our God the Lord is One ..it's all together in Him as One.
