Roots

Tap into the power of your roots. (Robert Schuler, late televangelist)

Much of the physical and emotional strength you have is because of your roots—what you inherited from your ancestry. To an even larger degree, perhaps, your current position and success may be from those whose shoulders you stand upon—many teachers and colleagues who have poured into your life. It’s that root system that will help you throughout your life and service.

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. (Colossians 2:7)
