Fruit of Love

There is one New Song in particular that makes me long deeply for Heavenly Mother: “A Lovely Peach Tree Bears Fruit.” Whenever I sing it, a lump forms in my throat, my eyes well with tears, and my heart overflows with emotion. I will never forget the day our adult male choir offered this song in praise—it was a moment filled with indescribable joy and gratitude.

This song paints, on the canvas of imagination, the years our Heavenly Mother spent walking the earth in search of her lost children.

“Toward the scent of the blossoms, butterflies flutter in. By the breeze, the petals gently fall, bearing good fruit, leaving seeds behind . . . How bright is the tree when in full blossom! As the bright peach blossoms turned to red, yellow leaves, so Her love, sacrifice, through the years bears good fruit. At long last, with Her children, Mother can go back home.” (From New Song “A Lovely Peach Tree Bears Fruit”)

A single blossom has the power to bring joy through its beauty and color, and its fragrance can soothe life’s weariness. Heavenly Mother came to us like a radiant peach blossom, gently opening the doors of our closed hearts one by one. She sowed the seeds of life throughout the world and poured out the living water abundantly upon Her children through Her boundless love.
