The Woods

While passing by a river, I saw a tree along my route. It was growing at the waters’ edge. However, it seemed to be struggling to become as great as the other trees in the area.

One side it was covered with old vines. Possibly they had grown up the side of the tree and died. I couldn’t say for sure. As I looked at that tree, I thought about people.

The people God has chosen as His own. Those who have sought and received Salvation. Often, we are as that tree struggling against; past regrets, past mistakes, etc.…

Those things that hold us back from becoming all that God wants us to be.

If we ask, He will cut away all those dead vines of past issues. He will give us the freedom to become a might oak. To grow in His love and mercy. We only need ask.
