How To Grow a Tree

Late one night I was lost in my sleep, I guess God can penetrate dreams. Because when I'm drifting off I stopped counting my sheep, I see Him, waiting in trees. Is He waiting for me? Do I climb up that tree? I told Him I've always believed. He smiled at me saying, "go back to sleep this tree you can't climb without me." When morning came to my soul felt so heavy with no flames to light up my lamp. I felt guilty and doubting the Lord's waiting without me oh why can't I climb to that branch? God I love You so please, don't let me stand on this ground give me strength to climb up that tree. "Child, I'm waiting for you to grow fruit from your spirit like how branches can grow out these leaves. Don't be discouraged you're worth all the waiting and I know you've always believed. But for My plants to grow and their fruit to show, it all must start with a seed. I've planted in you a seed I call 'Truth' during times of trouble and pain. Because during those times the clouds filled up the skies and watered your seed with the rain. And during those times when rain fell from the skies you probably felt sad in between. But child, you needed that water to grow larger and stronger to reach me up here in this tree."
