These little tomatoes have taken over a month to sprout, grow, and ripen. I fed and watered them daily, pruned them and STILL they were to slow to ripen. These little tomatoes and cuccumbers (which still aren't even close to full size), remind me of myself sometimes. I think about how the Lord must think of me in a similar light. He provides for me daily, prunes me when needed, and yet I am still slow to ripen.
Watching my plants grow reminded of the process of life. It is a beautiful thing and one I am fascinated with. As each season of life changes and challenges me, I realize yet that I am slowly but surely evolving into the woman God has created me to be.
This scripture has always encouraged my heart, hopefully it will yours!
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." John 15:1-4
Hopefully you will see the Lord in the little details of your life. He is ever present and waiting for you to notice.
