After that we proceeded to Tea Chapter shop. While my friends admiring different types of tea leaves and antique hand-made tea pots, I was caught by the mini plants next to the tea pots.
Curiously I asked the shop-keeper if the mini plants were tea leaves. The shop-keeper explained that they were all fruits plants whom the seeds from fruits they ate. Patiently she introduced to me one by one: "This plant of apple, grapes, orange, etc".
Wow!!! I was so awestruck, and dumbly I asked her: "Can they bare fruits?"
She answered me with a big smile: "No, they cannot bear fruits with this small pot!"
I thought it deeply: “If I were a fruit plant, I would like to bear fruit. If I were a strawberry plant then I should bare sweet and delicious strawberries. Isn’t that our creator want us to be?”
As Matthew 7:18-20 was written: “Good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”
Then how can I bare good fruit?
In John 15:3-5 Jesus says: "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me (Jesus), and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
