Deep Roots


Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith. Colossians 2:7, NLT



I've found myself recently in a l0t of struggles. Many of which I won't bring up here, but just to say, it's been really tough. I've been finding alot about myself. More proof to how lazy I am and can be. But not only that, when I get depressed or bummed about where I'm at I tend to... freeze. I get stuck. Sometimes I even start thinking "poor me" (which I hate that). All this is more and more proof of how I don't spend enough time learning, reading, praying. Sure, I pray alot (really.. ALOT) more than I used to. But it's still not enough. It's wierd, cause I know that if I have a quiet time, I know that I'll have a good day. But still, I drag my feet. I read this verse this morning and, of course, it's pretty much what I need to do. There's another verse in the bible that says that if we take delight in the Lord, then he will grant the desires of your heart. I guess I haven't been taking delight in Him then. Anyway, my life is that of a learning, struggling, changing and striving person. I know what I need to do, now it's the doing part that needs to be done.

I like that verse a lot - the imagery totally gives heat to the power that Christ has when we give into him...
