The Tree of Love

The Tree of Love

Ancient cultures perceived their relationship with God and the Earth through the Tree of Life, making it the most widely used symbol around the world. Genesis and the Book of Revelation portray the Tree of Life before the Throne of God, blooming and bearing fruit every month and having leaves for healing. The Tree of Life also has been interpreted as the Cross, the Holy of Holies, the Torah, and so on. I envisioned this Tree of Life as the Tree of Love, because Love is the main characteristic of God. Love brings forth and nourishes Life, and Life has meaning through Love. The fruits of this Tree of Love are hearts – symbols of Love. Next to the Heart of Hearts is the symbol of Infinity, like two wings. Love is eternal and only through Love do we achieve eternal life. This Tree of Love signifies a new beginning and new growth, and the color green dominates. Interestingly, green also is the color of the Holy Spirit.
