Something just came to me while I was sitting in church this morning, it has to do with a spiritual "tree" God places in us, in our hearts. A tree can be any good thing from God. A "tree" always starts as a seed. It is planted in the soil (our heart). First it puts down roots to access the living water. Then it sprouts above ground- at this stage it is visible and can be seen by others. Then it absorbs light (truth) through the leaves. Finally at the last stage it bears fruit and then it can be reproduced in others! The seed is in the fruit!
