I was sitting under the shade of a large willow tree while I was having communion with my heavenly Papa. I noticed leaves falling prematurely from the trees due to the lack of rain from a summer drought, and I asked the Lord,
“But, Papa, what are the leaves that often fall from my life grounded in you?”
Dear Child,
If you do not water, nourish and protect consistently your spiritual root structure, the leaves that begin to fall are the leaves of FAITH, followed by dried up leaves of HOPE, and the discolored leaves of OBEDIENCE!
Without leaves, which nourish a plant, there will never be fruition of your destiny. A plant without leaves will never blossom and bear fruit. Feed and water your root structure daily and consistently that healthy leaves of FAITH, HOPE and OBEDIENCE, in due season, will reap the abundant fruit of your destiny.
Do not let the garden of your life of faith be covered by fallen dried up leaves of lost opportunity, lost time and lost potential.
A warning from Papa
Hebrews 11:6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Romans 15: 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in HOPE, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
James 1: 22 But be ye DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
CHALLENGE: Invest daily in your spiritual root structure by communing with your heavenly Papa that you may have FAITH to trust, confidence to HOPE and discipline to OBEY in all seasons of life.
A flower always naturally leans towards the sun as it grows and blooms in its presence.
Likewise our lives will only grow and bloom as we spend time in His presence
