Spr...Thank you Joseph for this, it is encouraging. Spring is a lovely time of year, all the more enjoyed and appreciated if you've suffered through a long harsh winter. This account of the trees is like a parable of how some believers come to full fruition and mature later in life than others. It reminds me of where some are hired to work in the harvest later than others who bore the heat of the day, yet receive the same wages. The first shall be last and the last shall be first......and this diminishes nobody, but we are to understand how the Lord is a great equalizer and so gracious and just, and later bloomers are acknowledged because they had to endure a longer wait and preparation. In Christ the poor can take pride in their high position, and parts with less honour receive more honour, and how hills will be made low and valleys lifted up until all are level, many places in scripture demonstrate this aspect of the character of our wonderful God and Saviour. May the Lord bless you.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00170645046140906750noreply@blogger.com
