Droplets .

The vault purging continues...

This evening I read the book of Jeremiah.
After reading verse 17:8, a picture if a woman crying came to mind... more specifically, me.
  Tears.
Precious little droplets.
"A tree planted by waters, and that spreadeth out her roots."

Being in the place I am today, I would have you believe that all of your tears are one of the things that are used to water our souls.  
Precious little droplets that give us growth, depth, and deep rootedness.
Although circumstantial and often reactions from pain, a necessity for not only growth of the tree, but of its branches. 
Branches of love that presents its fruit and flowers for others to see. Branches of hope that become more resilient against the harsh winds and storms of this sometimes difficult life. 
The same branches that you use to wrap around others to show your love and your hope, when they need it the most. Along with love and hope, you also have branches of faith. These are branches that are durable, secure, and unyielding... 
that if others should crack or break, they remain strong until you recover.
So many branches.
Each one special and unique, contributing and creating...
you.
But at the heart of this tree, is the trunk. The strength and core of the tree, the piece that holds it all together.  
Along with your unique branches there also lies a strong trunk that in some time, another person will use to lean on for help, comfort, and
support.
Tears do not weaken us. Use them for strengthening. 
Growing and flourishing!
Precious little droplets that are needed to yield your amazing fruits that you yet cannot see.
Droplets needed transform us into a strong and BEAUTIFUL tree.





Jeremiah 17:8  For s/he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
