The wind was strong that day, and the trees, being young, were blowing halfway over. They seemed as if they would snap, but they buffered each other against the gale.
Nearby, one lone sapling, planted all by itself, was fiercely snapped and broken in half, defeated by the wind.
A little way down the road I saw a line of older trees, planted together and mature. The same wind only rustled their branches and brought them to a gentle bow. They neither snapped nor bent. They stood strong in a clump.
The Lord showed me how we should be, how we are through Him, that whether we are saplings or thick oaks we are together made strong from storms as we remain together. He showed me the one lone sapling as a warning and a caution. He asked me to share this with you, lest you discover you are alone or you know someone young in their faith who is alone.
