Trees endure the hot sun and rainstorms by sending their roots down deeper. The adversity they face is eventually the source of great stability. The harshness of the elements surrounding them causes them to seek another source of life. They will one day come to the place that even the greatest of windstorms cannot affect their ability to produce fruit. John Bevere
About This Quote

The life of a tree is an ever-changing one. Some of the most intense storms that the world has to offer may come its way, but they will not be able to take it down. Instead, the storms will only serve as a source of energy for the tree. Even if its roots are broken or cut, it will still be able to heal itself and continue on with its life cycle.
