[Lionhearted]

Good morning anyone who's there

I came across this quote and it really hit me so I wanted to share it:

Roots deep into God's truth are definitely needed as reserves when tims are rough!!Without a network of strong roots, sooner or later we have to be staked up, tied up, propped up, straightened up - until the next wind comes along and we fall over again! But with firm, healthy roots, no wind can blow us down!

It struck me that we all need help being "propped up" from time to time; but as we grow stronger and stronger in Him we should need it less and less. Because if we are always the one needing to be propped up ... then what happens to the brother or sister that needs to be propped up by us?

Something to think about.

Wooohooo lionhearted a big Amen to that one sis....as we learn to rely and trust in Jesus...our needs to be dependent on others should become less and less...and if we are very needy on others...then we need to take a hard look at our relationship with Christ...because it must not be where it needs to be...and therefore we need to go to work...growing closer to Him.

luv ya

yes at one time we all need help being propped up....but the ultimate prop that we need to lean on is Jesus. Learning how to lean on Jesus is a daily step that we all need to take. We have to trust him with our all and know that He is in control. We lean on Him daily and our walk grows stronger and stronger everyday.
