Roots

Roots are:

• The organ of the plant body,
•  they absorb nutrients
•  anchor the plant to the ground.

With the right conditions roots can crack foundations, snap water lines, and life sidewalks. The roots of a plant grow in the direction where the correct environment of air, nutrients, and water exists to meet the plants needs. Where are your getting nourishment? Are your roots strong enough to support you when storms come?

Worry

So do not worry, saying 'what shall we eat?', or 'what shall we drink' or 'what shall we wear?' for the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:31-33

 

When we "dwell" in the land and trust God- we will grow in Him and live the better life he has planned for us.

Faith

  So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. 1 Peter 1:6-7

 

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.

 

Faith is not a sense, not sight, not reason, but taking God at his Word. -Faith Evans

Fulfilled

Those who Hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isiah 40:31

 

Lift up your eyes. Your heavenly Father waits to bless you-in inconceivable ways to make you life what you never dreamed it could be. God created us with an overwhelming desire to soar... He designed us to be tremendously productive and "mount up with wings like eagles" realistically dreaming of what He can do with our potential.-Carol Kent

Anger

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32

 

 Anger is like the red light that warns you on your cars dashboard. You can either stop and deal with the problem, or you can break the light. The light itself (which represents anger) is not the problem, its just warning you that there is something that you need to stop and deal with.

Whole

Run to me, I'll hold you close, curing your hearts ache with my tender knowing touch, I'll sew us every break, memories and scars fade, like the end of the day when my love my love is planted there, and the pain is washed away.  I am your prince of peace, the lover of your soul, let me in. I'll mend your heart, my love will make you whole.
Luke 4:18

Deeds

  What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. James 2:14-19

Its what we do for Christ here and now, that will make a difference then and there!
