We all struggle, but there are the "productive", and those that are farther behind in the struggle: God has comfort for either condition, and all have a function in the natursl world.
As with the rain early, which was good time for reflection, God gave the natural world something it needed to live, and now, mild temperatures and diffuse sunshine, dilluted by some thin cloud cover.
I could see the burgundy leaves of our plum tree, in the sunshine. The leaves with their deep hue, and the obverse shade, but the trick, the miraculous is the mirror of light on the leaves that were touching the sunshine: call them productive vines, as Christ said of the better believers. Sure he loved them all, but he also knew some needed yet more assistance in their spiritual walk.
