Bananas

A banana tree grows so gracefully. It gives protection, food, and homes.
A banana tree provides for those who love it and those who don’t, just like You.

Unfortunately a banana tree must die, but You still stand strong.
With a banana tree you will always find results, but it may not be at the exact moment you feel you need food.

A banana tree knows what is best, though. If it springs its fruit too early or too late the food would be ruined.

In the same way, You know when to provide results and in a certain form so that the results would not be ruined.

A banana tree gives its fruit a hard outer shell to protect them. I feel you do the same with your plans, Lord.

Even though you must make your plans a certain way, they are always easy enough for us to open, even if we don’t realize how we did it.

In the end, the fruit is prosperous and we praise you for knowing what is best!
