Luke 13:6-9
And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” (ESV)

There is a song that talks about it sometimes taking fifteen times for someone to hear about Jesus before they accept his salvation. We all touch people’s lives every day and have an opportunity to share Jesus with them. The song talks about the different ways we might touch them and asks, “what if I’m fifteen?” Are we ready to be the one who asks the question that might bring someone to know God?
