Value of Concentration: He is the Center of My Soul.

Memory Verse: My Roots reach The Living Water.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

When I think of the colors of my palette…….. I look to my Mighty Burr Oak, that resides in our barn lot. “Father Oak,” is 350 years old. According to the Arborist that diagnosed him, I was told the following: “His roots are not as deep, as much as they are long and spread out.”  “Those roots can spread out across beneath that entire field of corn.”

As I sip my Cup of Fancy, A deep, dark Hot Chocolate, my mind goes in all directions…ROOTS!

*First and foremost…root yourself in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

*Dig deeply into his Holy Word.

*Once you are rooted into the realm of The Holy Spirit, your roots ..aka…spirituality, you become One with The Living Water. You are hooked to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit; therefore, you can spread the faith throughout the world.

When I think of my own roots….I praise God that I was born into a family of faith. 

My mother and grandmother were THE LIGHT OF CHRIST. Being raised in Catholicism, before many modern changes came during The Vatican II Counsel, they had the true roots of Christ.

They lived with the following premise:” It is not a religion but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that seals your salvation.”

We listened to the Rev. Billy Graham constantly, and loved the truths of his wisdom of the Word.

ABBA, I praise You for such saints that touched my life, and brought me to the truth.

MY CHILD: Indulge yourself in The Word. Dig your roots deeply and spread them far and wide throughout. Remember….your roots will take you to The Living Water…which is a personal relationship with me.

Jeremiah 33:3  “Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you amazing and wonderful things you do not know.”

Never doubt that I live within you, through the presence of The Holy Spirit.

I love you.

Your,

ABBA, Father
