Do you suffer from One Tree-itis? (BLOG ENTRY 21)


Do you suffer from One Tree-itis?

Amazing Author, Michelle Hammond once asked a very deep question when she asked, Do you suffer from One Tree-itis? What is it that you are so focused on that is stealing your joy of who God made you to be? What is it?



Often times we focus on the one thing that we don’t have and fail to appreciate what we do have.  Although Adam and Eve had everything they needed, the serpent came and brought Eve’s attention to the one thing that she didn’t have.  He became that little voice in her ear to take her attention off all the wonderful things that God had blessed her with. He brought her attention to the one tree that she couldn’t eat from in thinking that God was withholding something good from her. 


 

Psalm 84:11 (KJV) For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

God knows my dear child and he hasn’t forgotten about you. He knows what is suitable for you. He knows what is best for you.  These are the best days of your life my sisters and brothers. So enjoy them and stop focusing on what you don’t have.  STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN silly, you are missing what is right in front of you.

God has seen your heart,

So play your part,

In the perfection of his story,

It shall be for his honor and glory.

The time is near,

So don’t you dare fear,

You have everything you need,

So don’t be hasty with greed.

God is writing this beautiful piece,

So the worry can cease,

If you yet trust him…

Others may walk away,

But his love shall never stray,

Wait, fight, and pray…

TODAY IS YOUR DAY!
