And...as badly as I'd love to show you my new, fresh, cut and colored hair....I'm not talking about "roots" from my head.
Back to Luke 8 and the parable of the seed and the sower....Boy, this is such good stuff!!
#4 on the list of what to think about (and promised) when we are after the 100-fold harvest...
Dig the roots!
Excuse me??
A couple of things to point out...
My roots are as deep as I believe my God loves me. And, as a matter of fact...I need to know deep down in my heart that He lavishly and unconditionally loves me. (Eph 3:16-18)
Also, Luke 8:13 "Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root."
Y'all this has been me. Can be me any given moment.
I'll hear the word and even receive it joyfully, but there is no root to the word. NONE!
When we take the word and plant it firmly in the rich soil and let that root be firmly planted, guess what happens??
2 Kings 19:30 tells us that fruit will come from above.
Dig the root, fruit comes up.
Simple concept. Most important. One more time....
Dig the root, fruit comes up.
I'm going to do more than just joyfully hear the word. Its going to take root. Time to get my spiritual ADD in order.
Diggin the root with ya~

Oh my word, that's good stuff! That's some good spiritual food for thought that will keep me chewing today.
And, I'll be sure to notice the literal, freshly colored roots on your head next week. :o)

I'm stopping over from Joanne's. (One so Blessed) You have a lot of good stuff from the conference. I'll have to come back and read more!
There must be a lot of hair coloring going on this week. My appointment is next Tuesday,my standing three-hour day with Natalie. Now digging the roots takes on deeper meaning with letting the Word go deep in my heart, not just with joy hearing it, but deep in the heart. A good Word, Fran. Love, Annette
