Fruity Mirrors

The time period where I won't be writing appears to be lengthening. Be that as it may, the work continues forth night and day and as such the durians are needed to be collected and processed through and through without end. World without end. It's been two weeks already and the season is not letting up, rather that now the trees with the desirable fruits are now beginning to drop and it's on us to go and find them. And as it continues on I find myself learning many things which I didn't know I would learn during this durian season.

Well firstly, it would be that collecting and harvesting durians in Glory Place Mantin had a spiritual side to the matter as well. What the Holy Spirit prompted in me was that unless preparation of not just the mind and body but also pre emptively of the spirit, the collection for that day will be rife and few. I found that to my surprise the more I pondered and thought about it, the more it came to be evidenced true. There was a time when the little boys and I went to collect some durians a while back and just before we went, they had a squabble with one another and not made up whereas I was in the sanctuary taking my slot time to worship and to read the Word. During our hike up the hills, we encountered a beehive and that beehive sent out its members to harass us away. The boys immediately scattered, and I was left to slowly climb down the hill. Having a basket full of durians I had to tread wisely else I tumble like tumble weed. Not to mention that though the bees to chased me, they did not sting but rather just nonchalantly landed and buzzed around me. Never stung even once. This is not a random occurrence but I found that the more I observed everyone who came and who did not come for the durian harvesting I found that and the land and its inhabitants testified to their faces.

For those who are diligent and joyous in their durian picking the trees yielded plentiful whereas those who slack about and are aloof and goofs the trees yielded more hazards than it did fruits for them. Those who did not prepare themselves spiritually were either before, during, or afterwards attacked spiritually. Example most used being that those who found not in their hearts to take their time of worship just before seriously finds their time of work full of strife, derision, and discontentment with their situations and fellow field workers. But those who did prepare themselves to seek Yahweh on the field inasmuch as He was in the sanctuary found the field yielding much fruit and abundance to them. For me personally, I literally see paths opening up to me leading to big and ripe durians whereas others can only find miniature and small ones because before then, they had previously squandered their precious time to prepare themselves in the sanctuary with me.

This is such an eye opener for me because the same surely applies to me as well. Hence, I ought all the more to tighten my guard, lift my spirits in the Lord Yeshua, and go forth prepared spirit, soul, and body to just collect durians. The land yields to those who first yields to the Lord Yeshua fully and so I go with that mindset and surely I am bound for bountiful plenty in Him. When we seek for Yeshua, the land yields Him to us and all His glory manifested physically in the abundance of fruit, joy and peace. If not, the land yields what the rest of the world yields.

Praise Yeshua. The season picks up into high gear now.
