Bigger Picture
I’ve been given an orange
For it to become fruitful
I need to bury it
It will grow and then bear fruit
From death comes life
The orange had to die
For another tree to grow
And bear fruit
and so the process continues.
Jesus had to die with our sins
So that He would rise again
So that we receive eternal life
We need to die to self
so that God’s life would be lived out through us
From Death come Life!!
Stop with all our selfish needs
and wants and see the bigger picture
See God’s picture
See what God sees
Feel what God feels
The flower dies to bear berries
The fruit has to be opened and exposed
For the seeds to be seen
For the seeds to fall out
We die right now
We lay down our lives
All our worries
All our cares
The old flesh dies
And the new life comes.
