When the apple is ripe, it will fall from the tree. A truth so simple yet profound. We try to shove God down the throats of those who are not yet hungry and wonder why they close the door. We forget about the call, the invitation. It was sent to us once . . . perhaps twice . . . perhaps a hundred times! When the heart is closed, so are the eyes and ears and only love can open them.
God sends an invitation to each and every soul in ways we ourselves could never imagine, and just when the moment is right and the apple is ready. Most of the time, I believe we live our lives unaware that our simple acts of love and kindness are speaking truer than all the lofty words our mouths proclaim. We try in vain to convert others to believe as we do, but that will not assure salvation. Salvation comes when one believes he/she is truly loved.
