TWO TREES
Imagine you are walking through the woods on a path, one side of the path is in sunlight and one side is in darkness. On each side of the path is a tree. The tree on the left is in darkness and the tree on the right is bathing in the sunlight. The tree on the left is old, scary, and gnarly. Let's look closer at the tree. The limbs are broken, and the bark is full of holes from years of damage from birds and insects. Even though we can't see the fruit, there is fruit there, but the fruit is not good fruit, but it is still seed. Now let's look at the other tree. It majestically lifts its limbs towards the creator in heaven. The leaves are perfectly shaped, and the bark is perfect. The fruit on the tree is perfectly shaped and the sweet fragrance entices you to eat of the fruit.
Which of these trees is desirable to you; one of these trees grows inside each of us. The fruit we bear is evidence of the tree that is inside of us.
