Roots of this amazing tree, are planted by the one\u2026<\/h6>\n
Who looks, and beholds, a glorious spot, to plant inside of me<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s watered by the rain that falls, by my Heavenly Father\u2019s loving hand<\/h6>\n
Sustained by the sun-that-shines throughout this promised land\u2026<\/h6>\n
Leaves, full, that overflow with the deepest green, more lovely than I\u2019ve ever seen<\/h6>\n
This tree is treasured, its fruit is sweet\u2026<\/h6>\n
Just one bite and I\u2019m complete\u2026<\/h6>\n
A fragrant flower that buds in spring\u2026 produces a fruit only He can bring\u2026<\/h6>\n
The fruit of the Joy-Tree is a gift from God to me!<\/h6>\n
It sustains me in sickness<\/h6>\n
Gives life to a withered soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
Takes away my sadness and leaves me content and whole\u2026<\/h6>\n
The world can\u2019t give it to me and the world can\u2019t take it away\u2026<\/h6>\n
So, let the love that God gives, plant the Joy-Tree in you today!<\/h6>\n
Joy, everlasting joy, is a fruit of the Spirit\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s contagious when you are near it\u2026<\/h6>\n
Come, taste and see that it is good!<\/h6>\n
Paid in full, one Joy-Tree for anyone who will believe!<\/h6>\n

John 15:5-11 New International Version<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
5<\/em> \u201cI am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 <\/sup>If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 <\/sup>If you remain in me\u00a0and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 <\/sup>This is to my Father\u2019s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.<\/em><\/h6>\n
9<\/sup><\/em>\u201cAs the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 <\/sup>If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father\u2019s commands and remain in his love. 11 <\/sup>I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. <\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
