These are pictures of a Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree. It has different colors to its bark because of a unique property that causes different parts of the tree to age at different rates. Interesting, very interesting!!! Daily, I encounter things that I have never seen before; which just goes to show you how many things there are to see, how much there is to understand. And because these things are true, then how much more wonderful must the next life must be. Why? Because I am beginning to understand how much God loves me. Paul said...
1 Corinthians, Chapter 2 (WEB)
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written,
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him.”
The wisdom of God is expressed in his love for us; each and every one of us!!! Jesus didn't just die for a few chosen few, he died for the trillions upon trillions of humans who have ever lived. And how he loved every one of them. The real question is NOT whether GOD loves US, but rather HOW WE RESPOND TO THAT LOVE. Those of us who have common sense (some may call it wisdom) will look into God's word for help in responding TO GOD'S LOVE IN GOD'S DESIGNATED WAY!!!
Or, perhaps you are waiting for something more spectacular than this crazy tree to get your attention???
