A Message From the Trees
 

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
(Matthew 12:33) KJ

The trees would have me tell you to go deep. Do not live your life on the surface but go deep. Understand that who you are is not on the surface; it is deep in the recesses of your mind. The kind of thinking you put forth is what basically will develop what kind of fruit that will come forth in your life. Do not discount the power of the mind! “As a man thinketh, so is he…”

Anybody that knows anything about trees understands that the taller the tree, the deeper the root. The trees want me to tell you that it is your mind and heart that produces your character, your conduct, and controls your circumstances on whether or not you can withstand the storms of life. There are instant storms that we do not anticipate, and you have to have a strong root system! Sometimes you will see the top of that tree move in the wind, but somehow because of the root system, it stands!

It is not what you look like; it’s what you think like.
It is not what you drive; it is what drives you.
It is not where you live, it is how you live.
You cannot control the weather, but you can control your mind.
You cannot control the contour of your face, but you can control the expression on your face.
The root determines the fruit. You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.
