Tree of life x3 (Myspace transfer from March 2009)

Do you know that the Tree of Life is mentioned at least 3 times in the Bible, for 3 different seasons in life?

First there is the tree of life in Genesis...in the past. Once Adam had sinned the way to that tree had to be barred to prevent man from being eternally lost.

Then there is a tree of life in Revelation, which is in our glorious future!

The tree of life is also mentioned in Proverbs 13:12 in the present tense, and says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life."
In Christ you have a hope and a future. He has no plans to harm you, but to bless you with good things and plans that He has for you. If you have hopes and dreams that have not come true for you, take them to Him. He loves you and He wants your hopes realized and flourishing...a tree of LIFE for you NOW!

Remember Psalm 1? There's that tree again... How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

That says many things to me, but first and foremost to watch who I keep regular company with. Surround yourself with positive, joyful, godly people who will lift you up and edify you before the Lord! The fruit of the Spirit will be abundantly obvious in your life when you are connected to the Vine...Jesus, nourished and growing!

God Bless You!
