Rooted Trees

Today, as I was walking Gio, for some reason, I focused in on the trees.

I was amazed at how these trees, so tall and so wide were so stable. How these trees started off as something so much smaller but with the assistance of water and sun and other elements grew to be so beautiful, tall and strong. I thought to myself, “Wow! These trees must be so ROOTED in the FOUNDATION that even though extensions of their branches and leaves may fall off due to storms or seasons, the trunk of them yet remains. Yes, some trunks have pieces missing, are stripped, and even have carvings, but yet, they still remain strong enough to support the rest of what belongs to it.”

This caused me to first, thank God for the foundation of the Word that I have been rooted in. Second, it caused me to pray, that myself, and those connected to me would become so rooted in our foundation as it pertains to self, relationships, family, ministry and careers/business that even though people and/or things may fall off, that even though trials and storms may come, WE would still remain. Remain unmoved and unshaken as to what is going on around us or as to what is being laid before us and that we would also remain strong enough to continue to support the rest of what belongs to and is connected to us.

Though that dream and/or vision which is in you may seem small now continue to water it and expose it to things and people that can assist in its growth.Though when the storm is over you and/or your situation may appear empty, may appear as though you have experienced loss, and may appear, like the bark of some trees, stripped, missing pieces of you and carved into, regardless, find peace and count it all joy because the fact that you are still standing means you remained and are rooted in the very foundation you need to be in. And this is your guarantee that a season of fruitfulness, if it hasn’t already started, as it has in my life, is on its way and soon, you and everything that belongs to and is connected to you will begin to extend and blossom and those around you will not only see your fruit, but know you by it as well.
