How should we respond when we face difficult times? \\xa0

\\xa0Luke 13:6-9\\xa0 A man had a fig tree planted in a vineyard, and one day he came seeking fruit, but found none. So, he says to the vine-dresser; \\u201cFor three years I\\u2019ve come seeking fruit from this tree and I\\u2019ve found none. Cut it down. Why should it keep using up ground?\\u201d But the vinedresser responds and says: \\u201cSir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put on some manure. Then, if it bears fruit next year, it\\u2019s all well and good. But if not, you can cut it down then.\\u201d

\\xa0Simple. Authentic. Jesus.
