Blossoms

It was a perfect cherry blossom...and yet it would never make a cherry because it had let go of the tree. How appropriate Christ's analogy is: “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)
My little flower would never be pollinated or fruit, because though it was lovely and fragrant -- without the tree it would never become what it was made it to be. In fact, it would even cease to be what it was because life comes through the tree.
So, we too are granted life through Christ and to let go of Him is to choose to "do nothing" and give up our purpose to bear Him fruit. Or we can cling to the vine and allow the Vinedresser to bring forth the fruit of His choosing.
