Everything Has a Root

EVERYTHING HAS A ROOT. THE HEALTH OF THE PLANT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ROOT. THE GARDENER CULTIVATES AND FERTILIZES, THEN PLANTS THE SEED. HE WATERS AND WEEDS IT SO IT WILL NOT BLOCK THE SUN. AS THE PLANT GROWS, THE GARDENER SIDE DRESSES WITH MORE NUTRIENTS, UNTIL THE PLANT IS STRONG AND BEARS GOOD FRUIT.


THE GARDENER MAY CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE TO WORK HIS GARDEN WHILE HE IS AWAY. THIS GARDENER WAS LAZY AND DID NOT CULTIVATE THE PLANTS, THINKING THEY COULD GROW UP BY THEMSELVES. SOON THE PLANTS BEGAN TO WITHER AT THE TOP. THE FRUIT DRIED UP AND FELL OFF OR IT DID NOT BEAR FRUIT AT ALL.
EVERYTHING HAS A ROOT. THE GARDENER IS THE ONE THAT CULTIVATES AND FEEDS THE PLANTS.
ALL MAN KIND HAS A ROOT, THE QUESTION IS, WHO IS DOING THE FEEDING, WATERING, CULTIVATING AND WEEDING IT.
DARKNESS IS THE LAZY GARDNER. HE KNOWS THAT WHOEVER IS CULTIVATING THE PLANT CONTROLS ITS’ FUTURE HEALTH.
“I AM”, THE ROOT OF ALL THINGS. PLANTS, PEOPLE, THE EARTH AND NATIONS, NOTHING CAN GROW HEALTHY WITHOUT ME.
AS SURELY AS YOUR EARTHLY FATHER IS YOUR ROOT, “I AM’ “, THE ROOT OF MAN.” I” PLANTED THE SEED IN THE WOMB. THE FATHER AND MOTHER ARE THE GARDENERS, TO CULTIVATE AND FEED. “I AM” THEIR GARDNER.
ASK ME TO GARDEN AND CULTIVATE YOU OR DARKNESS WILL. THERE ARE ONLY TWO CHOICES.
THERE ARE NOT MANY THINGS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A HEALTHY VINE WITH LARGE RIPE TOMATOES ON IT.
“I” WOULD LOVE TO BE YOUR GARDNER, IF YOU WILL JUST ASK ME.
