Attention needed

There is quite a message in the parable of the barren fig tree in Luke ch13v6. There is a fig tree that has not produced fruit for 3 yrs. The owner wants to cut it down but the gardener wants to give it one more year. He promises special attention, so the owner relents. Who are we in that parable? Do we have fruit in our lives, or have we become barren? For friends who do not hae fruit, are we giving them special attention? Do we pray regularly for them? It is difficult, for it takes our time. But that could be the true fruit producer. Do we give up on others too quickly? What if one more season of attention and prayer were what was needed? I am committed to praying for each of you. Not that you are without fruit, but I love and care for you. That is why I write to you!
