Standing tall

We have trees outside the back deck that are almost 40 ft. tall. Huge. Swaying in the wind.

There is only one tree that does not move. It stands tall and proud. Never moving. Never a sway.

It is the dead one. No life in it at all. Makes me think...as maybe it should you....the only one that "stands tall" is the one that has no life.

If we never bend, never sway , never give....are we really alive? Jesus "gave" when the Jews would not give, not bend, never sway. Are we dead when we dont ?

Lord, let me never be the "standing strong" one....especially when He and i both know it would mean I am dead.....in spirit.

Please pray for me......feeling rather like dead wood at the moment.
