the majestic ficus tree

so...i was sitting in my university student center today and i noticed a tree. it was a living tree in a pot in the middle of this building where the only other living things were people (and bugs and maybe mice but we won't mention those because some of you are probably squeamish :) i started thinking about this tree, because it happens to be a picture of the way that human beings cry out for God's presence in everything. even in big cities there are small gardens and pets and things that remind us of God's goodness shown in creation.

how does this relate to your brothers? well i'll tell you. your brothers are human beings and they cry out for God's presence. i want you to show them God's presence in everything that you do. as a woman and a daughter of the Most High, you can display His character and creativity and joy and beauty in a way that no one and nothing else on this planet and in this universe can. i think that your brothers deserve to see that and i hope that you will show it to them. :-)

this is altogether necessary because the world around us is full of nontruth. nontruths about God and nontruths about us and nontruths about reality and nontruths about truth. so...display the truth! display the character of the Lord of the universe! it'll be fun ;-)
