TENDERNESS

As you observe the winter trees that I am dressing with varried colored blossoms and leaves, understand that those tender leaves were being formed during the harsh winter. The snows and rains nourished the tender roots of those trees all during the winter. Once the sunlight gave the warmth needed to cause leaves and blossoms to appear, the fruit of the summer would soon be birthed. So are the seasons of your life. I know how difficult it is for you to go through the harsh winters of trials, but understand that I am tenderly forming fruit in your life. The winds of adversity will blow into your life, but do not be shaken by those trials. Meditate on Me and know that My tender love is extended to you during those trials and that My Word is given to you to saturate your soul so that soon great fruitfulness will be birthed in your life. I am the Master Gardner Who tenderly watches over you and sees to it that you bear much fruit. Keep abiding in Me, My Word, and My love. JOHN 15
