If you were given the choice of a tree that represents you, which one would you choose? I like the Ceibas, I think it is a beautiful tree. There are also the Willows, Pines, Guayacan, Sequoia, and many others that I like for their size, shade, branches. Think about it, which one represents you?
"And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire in the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed" Exodus 3:2.
God chose to be represented in a bush. A bush is a plant that is characterized by being very thick and low in size, its branches interwoven with thorns. It looks like a dry woody.
Among all the majestic trees on earth, why did God choose a bush? There is nothing majestic or imposing about it; so much so that Moses approached it when he saw it burning and not being consumed, otherwise he would not have approached it. But when he approached and felt the presence of the Lord, he was afraid.
We would like to be a big and spectacular tree, but God chooses a bush; because what is special is not the tree, what is special is that God is manifested in it.
"For he who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" S. Matthew 23:12.
When God manifests Himself in a bush, He asks us to recognize that without Him we are nothing. The fire is our exalted spirit that shines and gives warmth, so that whoever approaches, feels the presence of the Lord in our lives.
Let us be like bushes of heart. Regardless of titles, possessions, riches, etc., let us remain humble of heart and seek God every day. God will manifest Himself and give us the fire of life, and everyone who approaches us, will feel the presence of God's love in us and we will share with them what we have received.
God bless you!
