Broken Trees
Can Bear Fruit
How
about that? Broken trees can bear
fruit. The metaphor is poignant for all
of us.
I’ve
been broken before. I’ve stumbled,
fallen down, made mistakes, had failures.
And this idea offers me hope. I
can still bear fruit in God’s garden of grace.
2
Corinthians 12:9 tells us this: “God’s power shows up best in our weakness.”
I
love the idea that God can use my broken places for some good in this
world. He can take the shards, the sharp
edges, the shattered pieces and turn them into something useful, lovely and
worthy of His kingdom.
You’re
not useless to God.
Your
weaknesses, placed in His hands, become monuments of God’s grace.
Yes
indeed. Broken trees can bear fruit.
