Victory, shame, continuous winner, bad health, good health. What do these words have in common? The answer is.. the root. The root is "the point at which something comes into existence or from which it derives or is derived".
Yesterday I was taking down an old fence which was used to be a grid or lattes for blackberries to grow.
As I began to take the fence down I was pulling off the dead vines. As I began to pull the vines I discovered that they were very deep rooted with several strong root systems. It took a LOT of digging and pulling and sweat to get the roots out of the ground. If i would have allowed the roots to remain then the vines would have continued to grow and take over that area of ground.
If we are to succeed in life the fruit of it is only from a strong root.
If we are dealing with bitterness, shame, etc. the same principle applies.
The root system of anything must be tended to in order for it to flourish or for it to die.
What do you need we need to strengthen?
What do we need to dig up?
What is our root system supplying?
Just a thought.....
