"Realm of Believers!"
Recently I have been 'Repairing and Cleaning UP' since the 'newness' of spring has arrived, to find and correct those things which are in need of being 'transformed' to an original state, new and pleasing as they are 'Valued' even though many things are unsightly and of less value that they once were.
My property has a few dead trees that have fallen due to high winds, some briars that have grown up around the fence rows and many exposed roots due to the heavy rainfall, all resulting from circumstances that are pretty normal for a long winter.
Even though these unsightly and possibly dangerous things exist, I still value the property, and desire to 'Improvements' which will enhance it's value.
After I have made the initial assessment of those areas in need of 'Repariing and Cleaning UP', I 'Will' then begin the process of 'Restoring' what has been 'Abused, Damaged or Neglected'.
In God's Kingdom, HIS property are the Believers in Christ, purchased by the Precious Blood of Christ, where dangerous and many times deadly things exist, yet as 'Property Owner', God in HIS Love for me, HE 'Values' the property and desires to 'Restore' me to that what was once 'Beautiful and Perfect' being I was at creation through the 'Transforming Power and Ongoing Work' of Holy Spirit.
It was several years ago now, that an ice storm damaged many 'old and majestic' pecan trees, breaking many limbs, yet those old trees had borne much desireable fruit before the storm, and after some 'Pruning and Shaping', they are bearing 'Fruit' once again.
Those trees that were 'Saved', were not 'Cut Off' as a stump, nor were their 'Roots', although exposed to the elements, 'Chopped and Destroyed', they were nourished back to their original state by the 'Vineyard Owner'.
That is very much like what the Apostle Paul was saying, 'The tree that bears 'Fruit' is 'Worth' much in the 'Kingdom' and it will 'Produce Fruit' in due season.
Exposed "ROOTs' may cause someone "UNfamiliar' with the 'Kingdom' I call home, yet by spending time and excersing some work in those areas of need, others will see that the 'Value' of this property was all along 'Worthy' of 'Repairing and Cleaning UP' and any ideas of 'Cutting Down and Destroying' everything make no sense whatsoever.
I look then to the examples of Christ, where HE 'Repaired and Cleaned UP' EVERY 'Valued and Profitable Piece of Property' HE which 'Possesses and Owns' in the Kingdom of God,
Do What Jesus Did!
What Would Jesus Do?
What DID Jesus DO?
