In Luke 13:6–9, Jesus tells a parable about a fig tree that had not borne fruit for three years. By all rights, the owner could have cut it down, but the gardener pleaded for one more year, willing to carefully tend it—digging around it and fertilizing it—in hopes that it might bear fruit again. 🍎
This is God’s heart toward us. He is not quick to judge but full of patience and compassion. Even when we are weak, stagnant, or fruitless for a season, He continues to give us time—time to return, to be renewed, and to grow again. 🙏🏻
May we not waste this “season of grace” that God has given us, but instead allow Him to cultivate, shape, and renew us so that our lives may bear the fruit of repentance, love, faith, and obedience. 🌸
📖 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

在路加福音 13:6–9 中，耶穌講了一個比喻：一棵無花果樹三年都沒有結果子，按理主人可以將它砍掉，但園丁卻替它求情，願意再花一年時間細心照料、鬆土、施肥，希望它能再次結果。🍎
這就是神對我們的心。祂不是急著審判，而是滿有耐心、滿有憐憫。即使我們一時軟弱、停滯、沒有結果子，祂仍給我們機會——讓我們回轉、更新、重新成長。🙏🏻
願我們不要浪費神所給的這段「恩典的時間」，而是願意被祂培育、更新，在生命中結出悔改、愛心、信心與順服的果子。🌸
📖 你們要結出果子來，與悔改的心相稱。不要自己心裏說：『有亞伯拉罕為我們的祖宗。』我告訴你們，神能從這些石頭中，給亞伯拉罕興起子孫來。(路加福音 3:8)
