Like a tree needs sunlight to produce fruit, a Christian will experience reduced spiritual fruit production if they dwell in darkness.
Matthew 7:15-20 & Luke 6:43-45
Like a branch, I want to be strong enough to support weight and still flexible enough to grow in the direction I should.
Proverbs 27:18
Ecclesiastes 11:3
Like a tree, I want to be unmovable from my purposefully planted spot, but still able to grow as I should.
