through a T.R.E.E

The weather yesterday was brilliant and as i was in the midst of my Qt, i looked out the window and as usual, the what i called "long beans" tree stood tall and firm before my sight. (It has fruits that look like the longer version of long beans..and if it drops on u, oh oh..God bless u ;p).

I didn't know what i was thinking and i saw a branch sticking out of its bark. It was a lonely branch with it's own support and own bunch of leaves. And i thought, christians are not meant to be like that branch......christians are made for fellowship, not only with our Creator, but also with His people..We were not made to live life in seclusion.

As these thoughts were still running, i saw other parts of the tree. The others were all in bunches. They were close together and the leaves grew in such a way that it looked like broccoli. YES! Christians are made that way! God made us this way.....with Him as the source and support, and simultaneously developing good relationships with His people.

On the same night, i was reading this book on "Radical Gratitude". This passage popped out at me.

"For when God pulls us into a vertical relationship with Himself, He also draws us into a horizontal relationship with other believers. NO FOLLOWER OF CHRIST IS ALONE."

I was like wOW! It actually matched with my random thought just that morning! God is so amazing.....and He's really creative to speak through a tree. :D it's just my experience with God..a very COOL one :) Just wanna share it with u and tell you that you're not alone when things are going rough. You can share with those u trust and pray together...

God works mightily through prayers..
