Roots


A blessing on the man who puts his trust in the Lord, with the Lord for his hope. He is like a tree by the waterside that thrusts its roots to the stream: when the heat comes it feels no alarm, its foliage stays green; it has no worries in a year of drought, and never ceases to bear fruit. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your life be built on him. As you trust in him, Christ will make his home in your heart. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong.

~Jeremiah 17:7 ~Colossians 2:7 ~Ephesians 3:1
