To piggyback on the previous entry about Loquats and Yellow buckeyes I wanted to make a few points.
The loquat is an evergreen. It is considered to be a small to medium-sized tree.
It can grow up from 20 to 35 ft tall. They bloom in the fall and early winter. Then produce fruit in early spring. Loquats are self-pollinating. They can grow well in a variety of well-drained soils, but they perform best in full sun. They produce a sweet fruit for people to enjoy.
A person like this always has the presence of life showing forth. They aren’t trying to get attention by showing how big and important they are. They bloom in seasons when most would not be. They feed themselves from the Word of God. They can feed others and teach them about God. They also don’t hide sins in their lives, but leave their life exposed to the Son.
Whereas the yellow buckeye is not an evergreen, meaning it loses its leaves seasonally. Also the yellow buckeye is a large tree that can grow 60 to 80 feet tall and 40 feet wide. It grows best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil, and it does not tolerate poor clay or dry soils. Their fruit is poisonous to humans.
A person like this is always negative and brings no life to others around them. They like attention and want to show how important they are. They always want to be pampered and catered to. They can’t endure hardships nor do they learn to draw near to God themselves. They don’t have it within themselves to feed others.
So be like the loquat tree and not like the yellow buckeye.
Isaiah 5:20-21 KJV
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Matthew 7:15-20 KJV
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
James 4:10 KJV Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
