Taking Root in the Word Of God

This morning as I wake early and say good bye to my husband.  I get ready to dive in to my devotional. I see I missed 4 days. No wonder I was off and in a bad mood those days. I did not start my day with the Lord. As I am growing in my faith I see this is very important. To start my day with the Lord. 

As I catch up on the devotions. The one that sticks out to me the most is the one titled Transplanting. Luke 6:22-23

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, for in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

So as I decide to weed out those who poison my roots. I well dig my roots deeper in to the word of God. I can not let these things and people hold me down any longer. I am going to what God has commanded. I well follow him. If that means not socializing as much with the poison then so be it no matter who they are. I well love from a distance. I well pray for them. I am making a change today. I well stand strong in the Lord.

 "The Power of a Praying Women" by Stormie Omartian.

I am a Women Of God. I well speak as God wants me to speak, and think what God wants me to think. These things well make me strong not week. I well not hide behind false things, and words to make me look better or stronger then others. I well treat everyone as equals. It is who I was made to be and it well be who I am. I well slip and I well make mistakes but I well try my best. 

I want the world to know why I love Jesus. I want to his love to shine through me. I want to bless those around me. All of things well be accomplished with God on my side. 

People who try to whittle you down are only trying to reduce you to their size.  I well no longer be reduced in size because of others actions and words. For I am strong and confident in who I am and who I am suppose to be.

Thanks for reading.
