Life is Found in the Rooted Ground

October 25, 2018

From today’s reading…

…; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

You and I are either an accident, a coincidence, an anomaly, a lump of cells with opposable thumbs that haphazardly came together from the vacuum of space…or we were created on purpose by a divine, all-knowing, all-powerful “imaginary friend in the sky” who must be real to create you and me.

For the sake of today’s post, let’s go with the latter belief, and let’s call that imaginary friend in the sky, God.

Let’s say that God is, as we read in the Bible, a loving Father.

If your father on earth loves you “all the way to the moon and back,” how much taller and deeper and wider is the love of God? Maybe to galaxy MACS0647-JD* and back? 

Trees withstand great forces because of their extensive roots, which ground them and provide the source of their strength.

If you find that your vision board and manifestation statements and professionally-styled life coach’s advice are not giving you the strength you need to handle the stresses and struggles that come your way, consider the source of your strength.

Professional athletes don’t eat cake and donuts all day.

Professional souls—that’s what you possess because God is the ultimate craftsman—need proper nutrition as well, which is the only way to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.

*Galaxy MACS0647-JD is about 13.3 billion light years away and is the farthest known galaxy to date.
