RAINBOW EUCALYPTUS!

Speed Blurrr, Rainbow Eucalyptus Edition by Corey Trevor 808 is licensed under 2.0. 

The Rainbow Eucalyptus tree is considered to be the most beautiful tree in the world!  Its trunk is beautifully multicolored with colors of brown, green, maroon, blue, pink, red, orange, purple and every other color of the rainbow reminiscent of an artist’s abstract painting! The bark of the tree is light brown in color until it begins to shed its layers.  As layer upon layer is shed, new colors of the rainbow are revealed!  This shedding of its bark serves a purpose.  It safeguards the health of the tree, ridding it of any mosses, fungus, lichens and parasites that may live in the bark.  Believe it or not, these trees can grow to a height of 250 feet in their natural habitat rivaling that of the giant Redwood trees of California!  And they are one of the fastest growing trees at a rate of over 3 feet per year!  

This tree is another of the wonders of God with a promise.  God wants to make you beautiful!  He wants to strip away your fear and give you faith.  He wants to strip away your pain and give you pleasure.  Strip away your hate and give you love.  Strip away your sadness and give you joy!  Strip away your anxiety and give you peace.   Give you longsuffering for impatience, kindness for selfishness, goodness for meanness, faithfulness for unreliability, smooth your rough edges and give you gentleness, strip away your lack of discipline and give you self-control!  These are the ‘fruits of His spirit’ He wants to give you!  They will make you beautiful!    
‘The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.’ Galatians 5:22. NKJV.

Will you let Him?

Ask God, by His Holy Spirit to begin striping away the layers of you that are not pleasing to Him, the ‘unrighteousness’ that hinders the fruit of His Spirit from growing in you and making you beautiful on the inside.  This stripping away is a process that begins as we confess our sins to Him!  Jesus promised, ‘If we confess our sins, He (will be) faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from (strip away) all unrighteousness.’
1 John 1:9. NKJV.

These fruits will help you to be ‘conformed to the image of God’s Son, Jesus’.  Romans 8:29. And this scripture will come true for you!  ‘Your love will be made complete!  Because, in this world, you will be beautiful just like Jesus! (Paraphrased from 1 John 4:17).  

You can also pray this prayer of David from Psalm 139:23-24, ‘Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.’  

And remember that this stripping away of layers on the Rainbow Eucalyptus safeguards the health of the tree!  In the same way if you, ‘trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; if in all your ways you submit to him, he will make your paths straight. If you are not wise in your own eyes; but fear the LORD and shun evil, it will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.’ Proverbs 3:5-8, paraphrased. 

STRIP AWAY!
