Be Patient If You Would Receive the Reward

A certain person picked up an acorn from the ground.
This person wanted to have many acorns
but did not know where or how acorns were borne.
Just then the owner of the acorns, who had planted oak trees and, with a great harvest,
was full of joy, happened to pass by,
and the one who had picked up the acorn asked,
“How can I pick up a lot of these acorns?”
The owner answered,
“Wait.”
The one whose heart was in such a hurry said,
“Where must I go to pick up more?”
“You will have to wait a long time.
If you wait, you will surely have many acorns.”
Frustrated, it seemed, with the owner who spoke that way,
“I need a lot of acorns right now.”
Then the owner said this to the one who would not be patient:
“Because you think only of the acorns on the ground,
however long you wait, you will never have many.
For when their time comes, acorns
grow far more up in the sky than on the ground.
Even the oak tree works patiently and hard to make acorns;
can you, who sit doing nothing, not even wait for it?
A person like you, who cannot wait and wants it all at once,
does not deserve to have even a single acorn.
Get off my land at once.”
* In this word God was rebuking me, for I could not be patient.
The fruit of heaven is a blessing that only those who wait patiently
until God brings it to pass can have.
