So many stink bugs were crawling out from under the leafs of the poor strawberries plants; as I searched for good strawberries to gather. But, on the positive side of this strawberry patch, the gardeners worked hard to even get this patch this far along, to bear the luscious red berries. I can just see the gardener, when his work is complete and the when berries start to blossom, what a joy, what a lesson to that gardener.
When God completed His work, He looked at His work with joy of completion! The Savior of man is like the Gardener, Who tenderly cares for His plants. His people are like the tender strawberry growing in the Gardeners patch, to give light unto the world. Just like the strawberry plants, which receive, cold, thirst, and even over taken by weeds; God's people experience rejection, loneliness and persecution. We must not give up faith and hope yet; there is light at the end of the tunnel. We must not let weeds over take us.

"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10
Oh, what a joy it will be, when we don't have to be uncertain about bugs crawling on the fruit we pick in Heaven. We can be sure, when we get to Heaven, there'll be fruit that we never have even seen, so luscious and beautifully created, by the One who created us.
