Japanese Fatsia

This Japanese fatsia with its large, prominent leaves I found growing in the grounds of the parish church at London’s Rotherhithe. It had produced hundreds or thousands of little berries. When we sometimes think of bearing fruit, we imagine large, juicy pears and scrumptious, plump apples. Yet much of the fruit which the believer bears to God is often small, beneath common notice: a hundred tiny acts of service, soon forgotten, easily missed, often ignored.

But not by Him to whom they are given.
