The name of the second son he called Ephraim,

for God has made me fruitful

        in the land of my affliction.

                       Genesis 41. 52

(Faithfulness even in the smallest 

          and most invisible responses

     doesn't just produce fruitfulness

     in impossible places.

Through faithfulness,

God changes your vision

   to see something deeper in this.

Not just what is underneath,

     but what is right before you.)
