Love the insight about fruit growing at the reaching edge, not the settled center. We can’t just remain stagnant in what we think we know!

I so loved this as it spoke to me regarding the winter of my life. I love how the Lord grows us and we form new cones as we mature and hold new fruits. Watching them mature and change color and yet become more beautiful as we are formed by His wisdom and years of life. Reaching maturity and having the freedom to open ourselves and share God's tender, loving truth and wisdom of all the years we have been nurtured, watered and looked after. A well grown tree with mature cones and also new growth of new seasons. Aging in the Lord, such a sweet gift. Thank you for this piece of reflection.
