As I went out this morning to my garden, I checked on all of my seedlings to see how they are doing. Making sure everything is growing well for a good harvest. But as I looked at my strawberry container, they were all still dormant. I checked the soil, and it was moist. This made no sense. The tomatoes were well, the watermelon is well, the raspberries are well… but the strawberries had nothing. No green, no life, no change.
I began to pray over my garden, and then I heard it. “Just because I’m not seeing anything on the outside doesn’t mean the roots aren’t getting stronger and preparing for a harvest.”
Sometimes we need to not focus on the fruit, but on the root.
