"But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever."
What is a green olive tree? The footnote takes me to Jeremiah 11:16
"The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
I want to be considered a "green olive tree", fair and of goodly fruit.. I am learning to trust in the Lord's mercy for I see it has been extended to me over and over again. The more I look, the more I find how merciful He is to me. I just don't know how I would endure, if I did not have his mercy.
Day 1105
