The Cashew Tree That Answered My Prayer: A Story of Faith, Patience, and Unexpected Rewards

About five or six years ago, I planted a cashew nut (from a cashew I bought at the market). In just a few days, a sprout bloomed ❤.

The little tree remained for about two years, growing to around 45 to 50 cm tall, in soil with limited resources for development due to space constraints.

When I moved to a new house, I brought the cashew tree with me, still the same size.

I planted it alongside other small trees that were facing similar challenges in growth. They developed, but none bore fruit.

At the end of 2023, amidst a series of turbulent events and confusion, I stopped in my garden and, with deep faith, asked God for guidance amid so many doubts. In that moment, I thought of the cashew tree (since cashew is my favorite fruit) and pleaded:“Father, if my choices are right, show me a sign—let me see the fruits of what I’ve planted soon.” 🙏

At first, my thoughts were focused on the cashew, but then I extended that prayer to the other trees as well, knowing a typical cashew tree takes around 8 years to bear fruit—and mine hadn’t reached that age yet (just 5/6 years).

A few days after that prayer, while pruning my trees, I noticed a small cashew nut forming. 😲😍The surprise was so overwhelming that I questioned it:“This must be a coincidence...”But soon after, I realized:“It hasn’t been 8 years... this can’t be a coincidence!”My joy was indescribable. 😭

The cashew in the first photo was the first fruit from my cashew tree.

I made juice from it that filled a generous jar! I must admit I was deeply moved while drinking it, as so many lessons and values flooded my heart. I'm writing this now with tears in my eyes. 🤧

A few days later, the second nut appeared (which turned into the cashew in the third photo), confirming my faith! And there are more to come 😍🙏

I’m sharing this story with emotion, because I never imagined that a single cashew could move me to tears or teach me such profound lessons. But in fact, it’s the whole journey behind it that matters.Nothing happens by chance, and the vast web of divine rewards and intentions is directly connected to our sowing, patience, and faith.Today, I’m certain of that—and truly grateful. 🙏
