Intertwined

I found this tree on one of my adventures exploring around my campsite. It stood out to me amongst the countless others because it was so unique. If you look closely, it appears to be two trees that have grown together in what looks almost like an embrace. The two have become so intertwined that they are now one.

That is how our Father in Heaven desires our relationship with Him to be... so deeply rooted in and wrapped up in Him that we are one.

1 Corinthians 3:16 tells us, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and God’s spirit dwells in you?”

We are His creation. We are created to be one with our Father. His Holy Spirit lives within us, drawing us nearer and nearer to Him, until like this tree, you cannot see where one stops and the other begins.

Is your life reflecting oneness with God? Are you so happy in accord with the Holy Spirit that you can feel him embracing you? Does each and every limb of the Tree of Life cover you, shelter you, and comfort you?

In the shade of this beautiful Tree you can find rest. In the branches you will find peace and comfort. And when you climb to the highest limb, you will find life in abundance...just waiting to wrap around you and draw you close.
