The heart shaped scars of the tree of heaven...

I read a little about silkworms yesterday, after writing my last post. Apparently, one of the trees that they feed on to produce silk is actually called "The tree of heaven". Honestly. I like that. It felt like God was reminding me that if i want to produce 'silk' and good fruit, then it's really very simple - just feed on Him - the real tree of heaven - the tree of life. Something else i found interesting is that this tree actually has heart shaped leaf scars on it - strange, i know - but it reminded me again of the scars Jesus bears for me - scars of love. Scars that show His heart. Scars He wore, so we don't have to.....
