I found them while searching in a field. Two or three strawberries were ripening, turning red behind their leaves.  Even though they were the same size as little beans, my mouth watered when I saw them.  I think they have put all their strength into growing, in spite of the hard conditions in which they live:  poor sunlight and tough soil. God made me, shabby and useless as I am, his child by washing me with the blood of Jesus. He provides abundant love and embraces me until I produce the fruit of faith.  He endures forever.
