Strawberry plants in FL
Several years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Plant City, Florida where they grow huge strawberries. They cultivate the soil and make special, raised beds for the strawberries. They then lay a thin sheet of black plastic over the beds before they plant the strawberries. I initially thought it was to only act as a moisture barrier, when it’s main purpose was to keep the strawberries clean prior to harvesting. The fertile soil in this parable bears fruit in Christ because God keeps it clean for his purposes. How is your fruit? Are you living a clean and holy life?
