Rooted and built up

“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6-7, ESV)

In order to be connected with ourselves we must be grounded. Having this connection, this sense of feeling grounded “means that you understand your worth, that you understand your value, and that gives you the power to be yourself in different settings, and to not try to be somebody that you’re not, because you feel you’re not enough.”

Being rooted and grounded in the Word of God means to be anchored. It signifies the ability to not be uprooted or moved by the cares and conflict that life brings our way. That doesn’t mean we won’t cry out, fall to our knees, or temporarily lose sight of who we are. It does mean that we can get back up, full of gratitude, just as trees bend, and lose some of their leaves and limbs in a storm, and stand tall in the sun (son) the next day.

Rooted and grounded with a heart of gratitude.

“I know who I be!”
