I am a TREE

More about trust. I'll let this verse speak for itself (thank you Rebekah for sharing it with me!):

Jeremiah 17:5-10


 5Thus says the LORD,
         "
Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
         And makes 
flesh his strength,
         And whose heart turns away from the LORD. 
    
6"For he will be like a bush in the desert
         And will not see when prosperity comes,
         But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
         A 
land of salt without inhabitant. 
    
7"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD
         And whose 
trust is the LORD. 
    
8"For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
         That extends its roots by a stream
         And will not fear when the heat comes;
         But its leaves will be green,
         And it will not be anxious in a year of 
drought
         Nor cease to yield fruit. 
    
9"The heart is more deceitful than all else
         And is desperately 
sick;
         Who can understand it? 
    
10"I, the LORD, search the heart,
         I test the mind,
         Even 
to give to each man according to his ways,
         According to the results of his deeds.
