How do we allow God to restore our lives? How can we allow God to create his vision for our life to become a reality?
Colossians 2:6-7 (NLT)
· How many of you would rather your life like this?
· Paul says that we need to be rooted in Christ for this to happen
Ephesians 3:14-21 (NLT)
Roots: Trees don’t exist for roots, but trees need healthy roots to exist. Roots provide foundation, nutrition, connection.
Leaves: Produce nutrients and absorb carbon dioxide for the tree. Leaves provide nutrition, protection, photosynthesis.
Fruit: For our purposes. . .the reason the tree exists. Fruit provides purpose, reproduction, blessings for others.
We have forgotten the reason we are to exist is to produce fruit: purpose, what is fruitful of God should be fruitful of us IF we are abiding in Christ.
