Time to Learn From Fruit Trees.

God created all types of fruit trees, each one with its own season to produce fruits. Whether in or off-season though, a fruit tree never loses its identity as a fruit tree.

When it’s the season for an apple tree to produce fruits, no one ever hears any whining or crying from an orange tree that is off-season. It merely waits for its own season. And in a mango season, there is never a sign of envy or some negative attitudes from a walnut and other trees. They simply wait for their own time to produce fruits.

Above all, no orange tree ever wakes up one day to start dreaming or “stressing” God with a wish or “prayer points” in a bid to produce apples even if apple is the fastest-selling fruit of choice in the market at that particular time.

These are mere trees, contended to flow with natural cause of Mother Nature. But not so humans --- made in the image of God!

Almost everyone wants to be like the other person. A doctor, created with a talent for medical healing, will suddenly want to be an astronaut each time there is news of space travel. A teacher, with a special gift for molding young lives, is busy distracting him/herself with dreams of one day becoming another Steve Jobs or Bill Gates.

When are we ever going to identify and employ our individual natural gifts or talents and then wait patiently for the right seasons --- to reap from the “fruits” of our labor?
