Today I was reminded by a missionary friend, Charlene Johns, of this Chinese Proverb: “You can count the seeds in an apple, but you cannot count the number of apples in a seed.” One seed can grow an apple tree and produce thousands of apples over its lifetime.
For a moment, I would like to think of Living Streams as an apple full of seeds. All the seeds are the issues that we are focusing on each day during this time of fasting and prayer. Our prayer guide* has daily suggestions for us. Today, Labor Day, we are focusing on Abused Women and Teens.
This opportunity to fast and pray together over these various issues is water and fertilizer for the seeds that we are planting in the hearts and lives of thousands of individuals. I hope each one of you will see the fruit of your time of prayer and sacrifice.
