Awaken Ministries

As with a garden, if we don’t dig up the roots of the weeds in our hearts, they will overtake our hearts and choke the life right out of us! The fleshly roots of our hearts wrap themselves around and cling to the most distasteful and worthless things, making way for the weeds of sin to sprout in our hearts. However, if we instead dig up the weeds, all the way down to the roots that are wrapped around our sins, and separate them from the roots of righteousness in our hearts placed there by Christ, we enable the good roots to pe*****te deep into the rich soil – into Christ – into the river of living water. A color-filled, fragrant, and abundant life will begin to blossom. We will be rooted and established in Love himself. This was my devotion this morning and it just hit home with me and I had to share.

“No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.””
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
