Re: The Fig Tree .....

If you choose to be a slave you will become one.

The Mind and Spirit are free and will remain so unless you allow them to become prisoners of others.
One must be courageous at times to maintain the status quo.

I read once “Consider it a sheer gift my friend, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colours. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.”
