Growing in Gods love....

  But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God; I trust in his constant love forever and ever. I always thank you, God, for what you have done; in the presence of your people. I will proclaim that your are good.-Psalm 52: 8-9


But I am like and Olive tree growing in the house of God. We are those beautiful bitter salty olives getting grown by the help of God. We are those olives that have the bitter taste, that in growing in Gods kingdom, where God is trying to get rid of all that bitterness and saltness to become that rightful, beautiful, olive.

We are watered and given light, we need a prayer and God answers it. God is there to look after us in our bitterest moments and our sweet moments. God can only do so much to an olive, God can only do so much from heaven, we have to work on it to, we have to work on growing and becoming that juicy olive without the salty brine. 

We are that "Green" olive on the tree and God wants us to stay Green and not turn Black. Black of evilness, and green of greatness.God helps us to become a Green olive and not black, he wants all to become green so none are thrown away into the fire to burn.

How often Jesus uses  the growing of tree ( figs, olives) to explain the kingdom and the gospel of God and how to get into the kingdom and not into the flame of hell. We are the tree that bears good fruit and live how God wants.An how Jesus explains it, is just my Favourite I couldn't explain it better myself .

Jesus or God or any of the saints wants to us burn in the deep fire of hell. This past weekend, Jesus says that he must suffer  and be taken into the hands of the sinners. Peter -without thinking- says " Lord this must never happen to you"  and starts to rebuke him. " get behind be Satan" Jesus shouts " you talk not what God says, but what an earthly human says." Peter now getting called Satan after  having his name changed and givin' the keys to the kingdom of heaven.

We are those olives, those figs, that fruit, that bears the greatest of them all, if we believe in the one lord our God, the one lord of heaven and earth, hear and accept his word. 

" Lord God of heaven and earth, help me to become that perfect olive, help me to become the tree that bears the greatest of all fruit. Help and protect me from all temptation and guide  me to the path of righteousness and truth." 

AMEN
