"Now, just as you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord, you must continue to follow Him. LET YOUR ROOTS GROW down into Him, and let your life be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught and you will overflow with thankfulness."
Have you ever planted anything? Remember how small and fragile little seedlings are in the beginning? They require great care and constant tending and watering if they are to survive. Remember how anxious you were until they passed that critical initial growing stage? Then when the plant started to grow and bloom and even produce fruit there was great pride and satisfaction. The Lord feels that way about each one of us. Jesus is the water for our lives and your growth in Him will be in direct proportion to how deep your roots grow in the Lord. It is God's desire that each one of us blossom and bloom. If you continue to follow the Lord your roots will grow down deep into Him and your life will be built on Him as your faith grows!
The first step is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Once He has entered your heart and filled it with the Holy Spirit, He will dwell with you and help lead you in the right path and in righteousness. You will learn to regulate your lives and conduct yourselves in conformity with His Word. Jesus want your roots in Him to be firmly and deeply planted. He wants you to continue to grow and become strong in His Truth. When you do you will overflow with thankfulness. We are to grow ever upward and bear much fruit in increasing abundance. LET YOUR ROOTS GROW!
The best part of being rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ will be the flowering of your life. You will be like a prize plant in the Lord's garden. You will become so beautiful that you will attract others to see what the Lord has done in tending your life. There will be an overflowing of thankfulness on the part of everyone involved in the process, the Lord, yourself and the ones who view you. As your roots grow you will continue to flourish and grow even stronger and more beautiful. Year after year you will produce delightful fruit and flowers. The One Truth Today is that you will become more and more pleasing to the Lord if you will LET YOUR ROOTS GROW in Him!
