The Branch

Set in the vibrant Forest of Plenty, the story explores themes of selfishness and the loss of community among its animal and bird inhabitants, who hoard food despite the forest's abundance. The once-loving creatures have grown cold, and even the towering trees reflect this lack of kindness. Observing this decay, God, the great I Am, chooses a special branch on a solitary tree, hinting at a future where it will lead a mighty nation, suggesting a journey towards redemption and unity.
