New Roots New Fruit

Imagine you are an apple tree but no one likes apples. Everyone, including God Himself, only likes oranges. In fact, God Himself is made of orange juice. You try and try to grow oranges on your branches - you come close a couple times by growing orange-colored apples, but inside they are still just apples.

Then one day God offers to chop you down and replant you as an orange tree. You ask instead if He can just cause your branches to grow oranges but He says that's not possible because of your roots. He says it's not the branches that determine the fruit, it's the roots. The only way is to be chopped down, uprooted, and replanted with a new seed.

Getting chopped down and replanted seems scary. All you know is the apple orchard, you're not sure what to do.

As an apple tree would you:

1. Pretend oranges don't exist
2. Continue trying to grow oranges on your apple tree
3. Allow God to replant you as an orange tree
