Good morning, hope whoever reads this is well.
May God bless you and keep you so close to Him. I truly mean that, they aren't just words.
His word is treasured and full of life and truth.
I wanted to share what I see totally from God's hand that happened last week.
I've had a dwarf Myer lemon for four years now. It did well in Cal because of zoning and I took care of it.
I brought it here even though zoning was different thinking maybe in a greenhouse it would do okay.
I wanted to try.
I watered it some during winter, but I didn't love on it like before.
Summer came and I brought it out but eventually put it back in the greenhouse.
I watered it but it looked dead. No sign of life at all.
I just left it for dead but for some reason I didn't toss it.
Maybe a part of me didn't want to let it go or give up.
Kind of like when we pray for people and we don't see any changes or feel like things will change.
I decided to water a few more times a few weeks back and one day I looked and I saw green leaves toward the base.
I really was stunned to see that.
It looked dead, it looked like I should just give up. I was so encouraged to see life again on something I cared about and had taken the time to care for.
Now everytime I see this tree for as long as it lasts I will be reminded that just because it looks hopeless doesn't always mean it actually is.
Just because I didn't see life with my eyes doesn't mean it wasn't alive.
God knew which is why I didn't give up entirely.
I will keep praying even when I can't see results, I'll pray until God says to change direction in a prayer. I'll keep being directed by Him and not the media or fear.
