Eugene Harder a majestic oak of righteousness planted along the freeway of life solely for the display of my Saviour's splendor. My ministry is that of a foundation builder who is preparing the soil and nurturing the seedlings so that they become magnificient trees of righteousness for the display of our Saviours splendor. Roots are the character traits of virtue, integrity, faith and obedience. The trunk is endurance, responsibility, self-control and loyalty. The branches are courage, devotion and wisdom.
Some trees look wonderfuil but along comes the storms of life.
The winds of adversity and temptation tear at these trees. When morning dawns some trees lay uprooted, they lacked integrity. Others have snapped trunks proving there was insufficient endurance and self-control. The broken branches are testimony to a deficiency of courage and devotion. That's what I call finishing life well.
