"And he will be like a tree transplanted beside water,

Which sends out it roots by a stream,

And will not be afraid when heat comes;

For its leaves remain flourishing,

And it will not be anxious in the year of drought

And will not cease to bear fruit."

According to God's economy, the one who trusts in God is like a tree planted by water, signifying God as the fountain of living waters.  A tree grows beside a river by absorbing all the riches of the water.  This is a picture of God's economy, which is carried out by His dispensing.  In order to receive the divine dispensing, we as the trees must absorb God as the water.  The riches of the supplying God dispensed into us as the trees constitute us with  God's divinity and cause us to grow into God's measure.  In this way we and God become one, having the same element, essence, constitution, and appearance.

Jeremiah 17:8 footnote 1

"Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"The love of God is the source of His eternal salvation.  The love is in Christ and has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit.  Nothing can separate us from this love of God.  In God's salvation this love to us has become the love of Christ, which does many marvelous things for us through the grace of Christ until God's complete salvation is accomplished in us.  These marvelous things provoke God's enemy to attack us with all kinds of sufferings and calamities.  However, because of our response to the love of God in Christ, these attacks have become benefits to us.  Hence, we more than conquer in all our afflictions and calamities."

Romans 8:39 footnote 1

"But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste?"

"The disciples considered Mary's love offering to the Lord a waste.  Through the past twenty centuries thousands of precious lives, heart treasures, high positions, and golden futures have been 'wasted' upon the Lord Jesus.  To those who love Him in such a way He is altogether lovely and worthy of their offerings.  What they have poured upon Him is not a waste but a fragrant testimony of His sweetness."

Matthew 26:8 footnote 1

"The wonderful Jesus, who is enthroned in heaven and crowned with glory and honor, is the greatest attraction in the universe.  He is like an immense magnet, drawing all His seekers to Him.  It is by being attracted by His charming beauty that we look away from all things other than Him.  Without such a charming object, how could we look away from so many distracting things on this earth?"
