Pay attention to the Roots
The fruit depends on the branch, the branch on the trunk, the trunk on the roots, the roots on the land where it is planted. Everything depends on your roots and in what you feel and in what you have placed your roots.
If your roots are psychologically and spiritually radicated in the family you were born into, the form of your body, mind, and spirit will be perfectly shaped to those roots and that land. Your creative, planning, relational fruits will have that human shape and that of the generation that precedes you. Everything that you will do and touch, every fruit of your intelligence, efforts and commitment, every passion and excitement, every duty and favor will have that shape, that of the roots and the land in which you are rooted and from which you take your nourishment.
If your psychological and spritual roots are rooted in an ideology or in the preoccupation or pressure to make others happy or in the effort to project a particular image of yourself, then the form of your body, mind, and spirit will be perfectly shaped to those roots and that land. Your creative, planning, relational fruits will have the shape of the human ideas that you hold and of the image that your are trying to project. Everything that you will do and touch, every fruit of your intelligence, efforts and commitment, every passion and excitement, every duty and favor will have that shape, that of the roots and the land in which you are rooted and from which you take your nourishment.
If your psychological and spiritual roots are completely radicated in God, Jesus, in His words of life, then the form of your body, mind and spirit will be pefectly shaped to those roots and that land. Your creative, planning, relational fruits will take on that divine shape and you will be a new, original, vital, creative, fascinating reality. Everything that you will do and touch, every fruit of your intelligence, efforts and commitment, every passion and excitement, every duty and favor will take on that divine shape, that of the roots and the land in which you are rooted and from which you take your nourishment.
Roots take root in land in which they recognize authority and priority of nourishment and at the same time your roots give authority and priority to the terrain in which they are rooted. Giving authority and priority of nourishment to the family one is born into will bear a certain kind of fruit; giving it to the family that you form will produce other fruits. Choosing to nourish one’s emotional needs in your human father will bring fruits to your life of a certain kind, choosing to nourish one’s emotional needs in God the Father will bring fruits to your life of another kind.
Every branch radicated in the land of the past does not bear fruit, cannot bear fruit and is, therefore, pruned and thrown out. And it is life itself that takes care of cutting slowly but inescapably withered branches.
If you are rooted in the past, you are repeating the evolutive line of those who preceded you, you are useless, you are not new and are thrown out.
Everything in our life depends on who you are attached to. You are quite aware of it, and if you are not, listen to yourself because everything depends on it.
