Luke 13:7-9
“‘Now these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it deplete the soil?’
“He answered him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you shall cut it down.’ ”

Fruit-bearing seasons vary for all living things. Stagnant times of grief and struggle beg for nurturing and patience.
Your compassionate shepherding matters.
