What I am going to share with you happened in a special garden. A tree could not hide that it was very sad, causing concern in the other trees and flowers, the cause ?, I did not know who it was. "You need to concentrate," said the apple tree, if you try hard you can give beautiful apples, he added. "Do not listen to it," said the rose, it will be easier for you to have roses. The tree, desperate, tried everything they suggested, and since he could not be like one of the others, he felt increasingly frustrated. One day an owl came to the garden, the wisest bird of all, and when he learned of the tree problem, he said: "Do not worry, your problem is not so big, and for your information, there are many humans who suffer from it. . You have to discover yourself, you are in this garden for something, I advise you to examine yourself inwardly and discover what you are. And so he did, until he could hear an inner voice saying, "You will never give apples because you are not an apple tree, and you will never give roses because you are not a rose, you are an oak and your destiny is to grow big and majestic, to give shelter to the birds, shade to the travelers, and beauty to the landscape ... it fulfills your purpose! ".

# The Oak

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ, as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and without blemish before him, in love having predestined us to be adopted as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the pure affection of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he made us accepted in the Beloved ... Ephesians 1: 3-6.

One of the things that I have learned from people is that each one has clarity about their identity, which is demonstrated by the attachment to the nation that belongs to it, it is called nationality. In the particular sense, everyone wants to be clear about the purpose of why he is in the world, and it is frustrating to discover that he does not know it. The tree was an oak and I did not know it. Useless was the attempt to resemble another, had to delve into himself to know that it was really an oak and begin to behave as such. There are three truths that the sons and daughters of God must know, first, he chose them, second, he adopted them as sons, and third, he accepted them. Of all this, the son and daughter of God, must have full awareness of what is, and act as such. It is beautiful to present oneself to the world as part of the Body of Christ.
