Caring means enabling the plant to bear fruit

Caring means enabling the plant to bear fruit

Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46. The Kingdom of God will be taken away from evil men and given to a people that will produce its fruit

The reward is in giving, caring, and loving. The reward is the act of enabling a plant to bear fruit or enabling a person to flourish, that is, be better today than yesterday.

The “Kingdom” or “heaven” or “garden” is not a place for the greedy to take unlimited gold and fruits. Rather, it is the embodiment or sanctuary for the givers and the caretakers to continue cultivating a flourishing ecosystem.

Isn’t it a paradox? The more a person seeks reward and incentives, the more the person is tempted to be greedy.

To refer again the Beatles (The End): In the end, it’s not about how much love we take, but how much love we make.
