The View From The Tree

Have you ever felt like you just can’t seem to rise above the pain, the loss, the struggles of life?
Zacchaeus was tired of the struggle too. He climbed a tree just to see Jesus — but he didn’t know Jesus was already looking for him. That’s the power of grace: before we ever call His name, He already knows ours.

Jesus stopped right under that tree and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down — I must stay at your house today.”
He didn’t say, “Hey You Up There. What do you think you’re doing? He called him by name and he gave him a purpose.
God meets us right where we are — in our mess, our doubts, our distance — and calls us into new life and community.

Maybe today you’re up in a tree, trying to find answers. Jesus is looking up, calling your name, saying, “Come down, I’ve got you! Let’s work on your life together.” Grace is closer than you think.
