God Thinking XVI - Making Wise Decisions 5

"If the truths that you hear don’t penetrate the inner soul of your being, the root of your faith and then re-create who you are, it doesn’t stick because it was never made part of your root system, your inner most being. 

The truth just lingers on the outside and makes you frustrated, because you can see that you received the answers you were looking for, you received the power you wanted, you could taste the fulfillment of your dreams, you heard the words that heal you, but you just couldn’t hold onto it.

You claim it.  You get it in your hands, but it slips away when you are tested or when you are put through the fire.  Sometimes it slips away on the ride home. 

Why can’t you hold on to all the great teaching that has been brought your way?  Because it did not take root.

“...if the root be holy, so are the branches” Romans 11:16
