Two Growths

Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)
And now just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to live in obedience to him. Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigourous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done.
(KJV)
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him; rooted and built up in him..."

Two growths.
Down and up.
Down for the roots - your foundation in Me.
Up for the fruit and flower of our relationship that spills out in abundance through your life.
There cannot be tall flowers and much fruit without a deep root system. Abide in Me as I abide in you.
Receive Me.
Meet with Me.
Be with Me.
Always.
This is your life, become who I want you to be.
It's never too late.
How can your life overflow with Thanksgiving if you don't know Me?
How can you know Me if you don't spend all day living and walking in Me?
Yes, we need time together apart from the world, but I am with you always.
Remember.
Your strength comes from Me - let your roots gain nourishment from Me.
Pride must fall away.
Anger must be controlled.
I am your ever-present Help.
Remember My Love - Trust My Love and Joy and Peace are yours- my gifts to you!
Grow Up in Love.
