We May Not See
Our Fruit We May Not See
Author: Tom Moore
A young woman, who was a great lover of flowers, had set out a rare vine at the base of a stone wall ââ¬Â¦ It grew vigorously, but it did not bloom. Day after day she cultivated it, watered it, and tried in ev ery way to coax it to bloom.
One morning, as she stood disappointedly before it, her invalid neighbor, whose back lot adjoined her own, called over and said, "You can't imagine how much I have been enjoying the blooms of that vine you planted!" The owner looked, and on the other side of the wall was a mass of blooms. The vine had crept through the crevices and flowered luxuriantly on the other side.
THOUGHT: So often we think our efforts are thrown away because we do not see their fruits. We need to learn that in God's service our prayers, our toil, and our crosses are never in vain. Somewhere they bear fruit and hearts will receive blessings and joy.
ââ¬ÅThe fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.ââ¬Â -Proverbs 11:30
ââ¬ÅDie vrug van die regverdige is ââ¬Ën boom van die lewe, en hy wat siele win, is wys.ââ¬Â -Proverbs 11:30
