James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
A tree is so much more than the show of branches, leaves and even flowers it displays above ground!
In order for that tree to survive it has to put down some pretty awesome roots to bring up the goodness and minerals required to survive and expand.
In order for us to show our compassion and kindness God would have us display, we have to send our roots deep down in the goodness, mercy and trust He lays down for us.
Our roots may be humble in comparison to what comes out the top, but those humble beginnings will allow great trees of faith to grow which will encourage others!
