Planted Deep in the Rich Soil of God's Word!

Oh me oh my....

"Is your root system based on the positive things of the Lord, love, joy, peace, faith, etc. or is your root system based on bitterness, anger, gossip, lust, etc."

Preach it woman, preach it.. woohoo! I've been reading about the "fruit of our lips." I think sometimes we forget how powerful our words are, and how displeasing some of the things we [may] say must be to the Lord. Not to mention that these things you speak of (bitterness, anger, gossip, lust, ect.) surely hinders our prayers.
The sad part is; Are some not even aware of their bitterness (ect.) because for whatever reason they feel justified? Not realizing that their root system is sick or diseased. Or worse than not realizing, but flat out ignoring the condition deep within.

Ephesians 3: 17-20
17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,
18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];
19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--
I want to know the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge. It is a heart knowledge that says no matter what with God in my heart I WILL BE ABLE TO STAND FIRM AND STRONG!
May God Bless You Beyond Measure!
Joy
