We are officially halfway to Lime Green Salad ripeness and yesterday was the first sign of a tomato that I've been able to see. Now granted, it's about the size of a pea, but it turns out that it wasn't blossom drop after all. The flowers are supposed to wither and turn brown, revealing the fruit within.
What a great picture of life in Christ: We die to ourselves, to our old nature, to the part of us that wanted nothing to do with God, and reveal the fruit that He is growing inside us by His Spirit to the rest of the world. What a wonderful God we serve, who shows us how to live in the smallest things.
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
- Lamentations 3 : 22, 23

YAY!!!!......what a great picture!......and yep, "life from death" is God's whole message ..... in the bible study that i'm having here tonight, we just finished the section about Aaron's old dead stick that God caused to blossom overnight with buds, blossoms, and RIPE almonds.....wow....just like He caused the wine to perfectly ferment for the wedding feast.....i'm in awe how He causes the growth, whether in "real" time, or His time!.....excited about your tomato!!
Love how you're able to see God-truths in the growing process. This is an interesting blog to read. And you're making me really want to start a garden
