Each tree shall bring forth new fruit every month, [these supernatural qualities being] because their waters came from out of the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food and their leaves for healing." (Ezekiel 47:12 - Amplified Bible) When my heart is heavy, I wear my feelings on my sleeve. I put on a brave face and muster up a smile, difficult as it may be. There was a period earlier in my life when my feelings stayed bottled up inside, often because they were discounted and dismissed. Sad to say, it can be that way as an adult. Some people misconstrue this as one wanting to have their way or that they are better than others. For me, it's acknowledging that my feelings have importance. It's also about certain tenets - honesty, decency, genuine concern, love and respect. Those are the attributes we all should possess and willingly give. Sometimes, we experience the taste of lemons - those that are tart and to some, bitter. But, God can take those lemons and make the most refreshing and sweet lemonade - by His power alone. We don't have to add a thing. His instruction is the perfect recipe. GospeLines Prayer: Father, on a hot and humid day, nothing is more refreshing than a tall glass of ice cold lemonade. Your sweet, sweet spirit quenches our thirst and nurtures my soul. When I find a situation that leaves a bitter taste, may I remember the magnificent creation of Your love - the sweet taste of lemonade. Ahhh. In His Love, Carlaÿ Amen and Amen! O.
