There is pain, struggle, the obvious need for good soil, moisture, sun and shade, overall nurture but what is absolutely essential for a truly strong, resilient tree are it’s roots.
Many of the verses listed via this link speak directly to this term: https://www.openbible.info/topics/roots
There are those trees and of course, people who are “blown about by the wind”. And yet the Wind (Holy Spirit) blows where He will (said Jesus) and IF IF IF we will grow deeper, deepening roots in Him, His Word and relationships done HIS way, according to Him, stability and fruitfulness can and will result.
Things to consider along the path of an authentic discipleship in Jesus Christ.
As always, thanks for stopping by. -Glenn
