Like a tree
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.” Psalm 1:3, 4
In continuation from the previous blog post , people who willingly turn away from those that do not have the same faith and are attentive to the word of God day and night, are like these trees that are planted by the waters. Have you ever seen trees like these? They are beautiful! They’re very green, in fact, they are a different kind of green, the vivid kind. They look so healthy…
And as the Word teaches us, “they bring forth its fruit in its season”. There is so much meaning behind this… Everything in your life happens exactly at the right moment and time, because the fruits you would bear during this time will surely be enjoyed by all those around you. Like the tree that always bears its fruits during a specific month of the year and never fails. Its fruits are so good the farmer is never disappointed and trusts it completely, no matter how difficult the weather seems to be. You even imagine how careful this farmer is with it! Now, imagine how God takes care of those who are like this tree?
Its leaves do not wither. They are always strong, healthy and ready for the next harvest. The winds, the storms, the droughts or whatever other threats may come, this tree will never wilt. All of its fruits are good, and not only does the tree benefit from this, but so do all of those around it.
But, “this does not relate to those who do not have a life with God! They are like the chaff which the wind drives away”. That is, those who do not want to turn away from their worldly friends, a boyfriend that does not have the same faith or any path that does not lead to God, won’t bear good fruits and even when they do, it is at the wrong time and their leaves eventually wither.

Gabriela, I don’t quite understand your question. Are you still with your boyfriend or have you left him?

Dear mrs. Cris
This is strong massage
This message shows us clear that we need to be in the presence of God. And be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we can bear fruits at all seasons.
Without the Holy Spirit there is no life at all. The person gets dry and wither.
Thanks for sharing
Kisses
