Jeremiah 17:7-8 (more comments)

Just look at the conditions and results here,
Annie. We trust in God (in Psalms, we delight in and
meditate on His word); we draw from Him and
it nourishes us. Then – in trouble, we still
flourish. When everything around us is wilting
and dying, we still not only do well for
ourselves, but we have something to give. And,
Annie, inside that fruit is the Seed. Which, when
planted in another, will also grow and bear fruit.
We take from Him so that we can give Him to
others.
