Last night, I didn't do the greatest job of explaining roots. As I think about it now, I should have had a talk just on what roots is about and then had a "rhythm talk the next week. Oh well...
SO here is a key idea I did not communicate:
A root is anything in my life that renews my passion for God and my strength to follow him.
If I want to become someone who does not rely on someone else to "bottle" feed me in my faith, then I have to develop roots that help me draw strength for myself.
God's love and care for us are infinite... wider, higher, deeper, and longer than we can imagine... but we have to grow a "root system that reaches into God's love and pulls out everything we need to live and grow.
