“Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’” Luke 13:7 (NKJV)
Yikes. I’m reeeallly feeling like that fig tree today. Why, when just a few days ago I was filled with so much joy? I just don’t feel like I’m producing anything right now. Honestly, this feeling more than likely stems from my impatience. I know that I haven’t been fruitless. I know that I’ve been planting seeds all throughout many aspects of my life. It’s just today. I want to feel like I’m making a difference now, now, now. So currently, I feel like a fruitless fig tree and it’s dampening my spirit.
My favorite remedy for all unfavorable feelings is as follows: Prayer, doing something nice for someone else. Planting more seeds. Seriously, when your focus is on making someone else feel good, you can’t help but feel good too. Your girl is ’bout to turn her day around! See ya sorrow!
Musical upper for the moment: Lauryn Hill’s Re-Education cover of “The Makings of You”
Lifts my spirits just enough.
