Stop Shaking the Tree for Fruit

The sun is up, but your heart is still scanning the horizon for a storm. You catch yourself whispering a crisis into existence, just to see who will stay when the thunder rolls.

And then the shame hits — hating yourself for needing the proof that you are loved. But the morning does not demand a test to prove it will arrive.

It simply comes. The light is already here, shining on those living in darkness, guiding your feet into the path of peace.

You do not need to manufacture a night to find out who holds the lamp. The Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom while you were still asleep.

Stop shaking the tree to see if the fruit is real. The light is not a reward for your endurance.

It is the ground you are standing on.
