"And now, just
as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.
Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow
with thankfulness.
Don’t let
anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come
from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than
from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human
body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is
the head over every ruler and authority." - Colossians 2:6-10
I love Paul's language here. "Let your roots grow down deep into him [Jesus], and let your lives be built on him."
This is my prayer for each one of you.
Healthy roots lead to a healthy plant (watched enough grass fertilizer commercials to know that) What are you doing to develop your "root system"? Is your life built on the foundation of Jesus Christ? Do your thoughts, actions, emotions center on Jesus? Do you believe this is possible and how?
What icons and reminders have you surrounded your life with so you can overcome your spiritual amnesia?
Remember the secret - Christ in you.

I hope these transformation meditations are in some way helping your "roots grow deep into him."
Stay connected to Christ. May your roots run deep into Christ's love.
