Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

Consider A Tree For A Moment. As

Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

More From Joyce Meyer

Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. so also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. the storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. but only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. so corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. but only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.
Strong Humility Self
Do you say that tree isn't pretty cause it doesn't look like that tree? we're all trees. you're a tree. i'm a tree. you've got to love your body, eve. you've got to love your tree. love your tree. (leah)
Tree Looks Body
Christians, of all people, should not be destroyers. we should treat nature with an overwhelming respect. we may cut down a tree to build a house, or to make a fire to keep the family warm. but we should not cut down the tree just to cut down the tree. we may, if necessary, bark the cork tree in order to have the use of the bark. but what we should not do is to bark the tree simply for the sake of doing so, and let it dry and stand there a dead skeleton in the wind. to do so is not to treat the tree with integrity.
Christian Integrity Cutting
Sometimes i come across a tree which seems like buddha or jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. how much can i learn from a tree? the tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer.
Love Beauty Beautiful
She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.

Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

Similar Quotes
A flower is not a flower. it is made only of non-flower elements - sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on. a true flower contains the whole universe. if we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower.

Chance was to work in the garden, where he would care for plants and grasses and trees which grew there peacefully. he would be as one on them: quiet, open hearted in the sunshine and heavy when it rained.
Sunshine Garden Compassion
When i was a little girl, i used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. i felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. so i would try and catch it in jars. when that failed, i captured jars and jars of lightening bugs and told her that if we could catch enough of them, then it would look like the sun. she’d laugh, hug me, and then set them free and tell me that nothing should have to live its life in a cage. (cassandra)
Girl Mother Sunshine
Innate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. it basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there. accuracy is not necessary except in the case of aggressive, acquisitive natures, when it manifests itself in a desire to seize. true controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate.
