ROOTED IN LOVE!

Rooted in Love!

May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love an founded securely on love, (Ephesians 3:16-18, AMPC)

A former FEC pastor familiar with the writings and struggles of Anne Lamont, sometimes would quote her, without endorsing all she says. That's what I'm doing here.

• Love is a root system. (p. 8)
• Love is compassion. (p. 9)
• Love is what our soul is made of, and for. (p.10)
• Love is a piece of toast and a diamond. ((p. 10) Think either. (DAL)

Shared love, rooted in Christ, with other believers is a reflection of God's love. (John 13:34-35) Think fellowship. Genuine love for one another that mirrors Jesus' love. Being there for each other during hardships and struggles. Over a piece of toast or a cuppa tea. For a few minutes or an hour.

Love is an action!

Love is rooted in the Father's Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

"I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, 
but will have the Light of life.” (John 8:12, NASB) 

An e-mail from son-in-law, Corey, warmed my heart. (No pun intended, or was it??) Sweet Corey who reads my blog, says that lately he's had "tea" words whirring in his head. His subject line for the recent message was,  "I have tea every day, its my job."  As an electrician at FedEX, that certainly rings true.

Electrici-TEA!!! Hahaha! It just hit me this morning reading about the "power" of God's love. Just a thought. Light, power....

John 1:3-5--English Standard Version (ESV)

3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome. 

A cuppa, surrounded by the light--brewing in daylight, under the artificial light, & even documented with a flash of light. In the spiritual realm there is no such thing as too much "light" from the One who is Light.

Thanks, "Corey Gene"---a family "joke" name. Isn't God good! When in-laws are true family, we are all blessed.
