Take a real close look at this photo… see if you see something you have never seen before. This is not a trick photo or an illusion as you may think. The fruit is hanging out on the limb. The fruit is out on the limb!

OK… let me show you what i see. I was looking at a tree one day and thought about where the fruit was. The strongest part of the tree was its trunk… but no fruit was there, next came the main branches…still no fruit. The fruit was on this small little limb connected to the branch, that was connected to the trunk, that of course was planted in the ground. The small little limb was the most vulnerable place on the tree. The weakest part. The weakest part was the avenue to which the greatest results took place.

The actual purpose of the tree was being manifested through the weakest part. AMAZING!!!!! God is so awesome!! Jesus tells us that, John 15:5 �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. God is not bearing fruit… You are!

Jesus is the trunk and we are the branches with limbs. Weak limbs at that, sometimes. Yet our purpose can be manifested in the things we deem “weak”. Other scriptures for this is 2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, �My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.�  and in 1 Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

The next time you have a “weak” moment try to remember God has some fruit for you to bear, and he will do it even in your weakness. And by the way…. it’s scary sometimes out on the limb!
