Getting To The Root

Roots Determine The Life of the Tree

When we think of roots we often think of trees because without a strong root a tree could not stand. Tree roots run so deep in the soil that it was planted in and offers support. The roots absorb everything and transfer that absorption to the trunk, branches, and leaves. Without the roots, the tree would not continue to flourish. With this same thought in mind think of life itself as we know it.

Rooted in That Environment

Today our country is facing a lot of situations and there are so many activists, advocates, and dedicated citizens addressing the cause. We’ve seen the surface of injustice, hatred, tainted hearts, and bias behavior. People are not born with these views; they’re planted. The beginning of life for an individual is where their roots were first planted in the soil. These issues run deep; they’re embedded within the core of many therefore it’s imperative that we start at the root if we want to eradicate.

Uprooting for Permanent Change

In order to eradicate certain behaviors and unwanted habits, we have to address it at the root. The root of one’s life is where things are absorbed good or bad and transferred through the branches of generations. Determine why certain individuals feel the way they do and help them to understand that they don’t have to continue to carry the torch of their ancestors’ beliefs.

From a Spiritual Standpoint:

While the advocates of this time work towards change on the surface, we need those committed to dismantling the spiritual strongholds of the heart, mind, and soul. A lot of what we see is old feelings, and views transferred from the root to the branches of generations.

Lets Pray:

Heavenly Father we pray that you start at the root of our country and uproot hatred, bitterness, and division. Bring forth deliverance, and healing to those who’ve been hurt at the hands of others. We pray for peace, unity, and restoration for every household.
