A Bowl Full of Cherries
Summer cherries are so delicious. As I sat eating some the other day, I thought about three of the elements of a cherry. The stem, the seed and the delectable substance. All are necessary for the cherry to be all God intended it to be.
Thinking about those three elements in relationship to our lives, being all God intends for them to be, I realized we need a stem/spirit connecting us to Christ and keeping us in communication with him. We need a vibrant seed or heart willing to produce fruit in our lives and we need the substance of who we are (our minds, talents, gifts, personalities) to be pleasing in God's sight and attractive to others so we will be an effective witness.
