83: Fruit of the Tree of Life

Jesus Christ is the Tree of Life. He has also been likened to the living bread, the bread of life, the living water, etc.

What is interesting to note is that fruit connotes something that does the following:

(1) It nourishes
(2) It satisfies / quenches hunger
(3) it enables growth

At its core, the fruit of the Tree of Life is the love of God.

As mentioned previously, the root word for “love” in Hebrew is “to give.”

In short, love (or the fruit of the Tree of Life) equals grace … or receiving of His enabling power … or our being lifted up and being healed by Him who has the power to lift up and to not just heal, or to make whole, but to bless beyond what is possible to imagine.

When we come to Christ (or the Tree of Life) and do as He directs in serving and loving and lifting others (whom He loves), we unlock the powers of Heaven via compassion and the Heaven’s then shower down miracle upon miracle in our lives (whether large and spectacular, or small and simple).

Said differently, when we willingly an eagerly come unto the Tree of Life, we then are able to partake of the fruit that is most desirable above all else … “His Grace.”

This fruit isn’t something that is etherial or abstract. His grace is real. We can feel it and experience it. All according to our own language and our own understanding, and all in our own time.

Yes … His Grace is sufficient to nourish us, to satisfy our hunger, to fill us up, to lift us up, to hear our hearts, to make us whole.

His Grace gives us the vitality we need to grow … line upon line, here a little, and there a little.

In time, He elevates us up to where He is. Our Heavenly Parents instill confidence in us, and they help us feel treasured – valued, needed, wanted, and important. There is nothing more empowering than to be touched by His love, or His grace.
