Their leaves will not wither,

nor their fruit fail,

but they will bear

  fresh fruit every month,

because the water for them

  flows from the sanctuary.

Their fruit will be for food,

  and their leaves for healing.

                 Ezekiel 47. 12

(Our relationship with God,

our seeking Him,

serving Him,

loving God and others

does not just change our lives,

  but profoundly impacts

  everyone around us

  and everyone

         who comes after.

Favorable circumstances

     are not the source

               of our strength,

     but God.

God brings the fruit,

  even in the impossible.)

O LORD,

Thank You for the fruit

    that You are bearing

              through our lives,

even in what we may never see,

even in what has not yet ripened.

How do we live differently,

in what are we able to do,

in what we bring to others

            in truckloads,

    because You are

    the source of our strength?
