John 10:10 (CEV) A
thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so that everyone would have
life, and have it in its fullest.
I’ve noticed that trees that stand by themselves in wide
open spaces like pastures often have beautifully formed canopies. On the other hand trees that grow while
crowded by other trees often have branches that are twisted or stunted. Our
life can be like a tree. Our growth, and our success can be stunted when we let
things crowd us. Maybe it’s undue
influence by someone, or addictions or over commitment. Face it, there are tons
of things that can steal our time and energy.
My goal is to clear some of those things away, to give myself space so
that I can spread my branches and flourish like that beautiful tree in the
pasture.
Creator God, you created us and give us many opportunities
in life. Help us to choose wisely that we may flourish and have the abundant
life that Jesus wishes for us. We ask in
his name, Amen.
Have a beautiful day,
Paige
