A dependent freedom
by Jennifer Cardinal The tree The tree grows with it's roots firmly planted in the earth The earth provides nutrients, stability and a place for the tree to become mighty and strong The tree grows freely yet at the same time is dependent upon the earth The earth does not rob the tree of life or take away from it on the contrary it provides for it, sustains it and allows it to grow A baby A baby is protected by it's mother A mother's eyes always keep watch over her beloved child A mother holds her child, nurses it, lulls it to sleep A baby needs it's mother for nurturing, love, and provision God is our sustenance as the earth is to the tree God is our nurturer and protector as the mother is to the baby God does not take away our freedom, on the contrary He provides and and He loves so that we may have it Freedom is not the absence of this dependency. It's the ability to grow and become that which you were intended to be while resting in the care of God's hands.

This has brought about great change in our lives as well as in my own personal walk with God. I have re-discovered an old love of mine in this process - writing. I appreciate your feedback.
