The Job of a Tree

I’m reading an excellent book called ‘The Me I Want To Be’ by John Ortberg and in it he says:

“A tree’s job is not to try to bear fruit; the tree’s job is to abide near the river”.

What a great lesson. It’s not our job to try to be better people, our only job is to stay close to God and He will help us to be better people!
