My roots grow deeper

Alathea - ‘My Roots Grow Deeper’ 
I had my dreams and big ideas
But reality was grounding
I appeared to be a dying tree
with others towering around me
They’d say from on high, what a waste of time
Won’t let that lie define me
You can’t see what’s hiding here beneath the surface
You can’t tell how my heart grows till you unearth it
I may not touch the sky
in my soul I am a seeker
Though I fail most times I try
My roots go deeper.
From God’s Word…
Isaiah 61:3
to grant to those who mourn in Zion–
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
Intimate understanding of God leads to obedience, because the believer knows the power and trustworthiness of the One he serves. Obedience—especially during hard times—develops our faith. Eventually, we grow into unshakable “oaks of righteousness”. - Charles Stanley

Point of Grace - All The World
All the world is a story,
All the world is a stage,
All the world is a canvas,
All the world is a page.All the world is a horizon,
All the world is a field of dreams,
All the world is an open doorway,
All the world is a place for me -
To be Your voice,
To be Your touch,
To give an answer,
To show Your love.
That’s how the opening track from the latest CD by Point of Grace entitled ‘How You Live‘ begins. Note: the new CD is due out 08/28. Go to the Point of Grace website to hear this song as the new album is currently in the online music player. ‘All The World’ can be heard in its entirety!
“Every moment we have the chance to be His voice, his touch, give hope, or peace. Are you doing that in your own life? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I’m praying that God will make me aware of the opportunities I have to give Him Glory.” - Denise
From God’s word…
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
