Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:7(NLT)
OVERFLOW WITH THANKFULNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you acknowledge the source of your life
It will bring you to the foundation which is in Christ
Let your roots grow down into him and build it on him
You will reap an overflow of thankfulness and be redeemed.
Thank the Lord for each and every blessing you receive
You will have a bounty of faith and easily overcome sin
Focus on the groundwork for a meaningful existence
Only in Jesus Christ will you have purpose and substance.

Being thankful to God for every little thing that you have in life is essential for us to have a purposeful life. Many believers get drawn into a worldly existence and forget the source of all things. When we deny that everything comes from the Lord, we live very difficult lives. Remember that God is love and he created us out of love. When we minimize the fact that we won’t have anything without him, we open the doors for the enemy to keep us confused and distract us from God’s love. We should let our roots grow down into Christ and our lives be built on him so we’ll have an overflow of gratitude.
PRAYER
Lord, let me never lose focus on you.
REFLECTION
Why is it essential to acknowledge Christ as our foundation?

Let your roots grow down into him and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. – Colossians 2:7NLT)
HOW TO GROW FAITH
A poem and essay by ILMA
One cannot please God without faith
It is by believing that we are saved
As you accept Christ, continue to follow his ways
A relationship with him protects you from being swayed.
Let your roots grow down by focusing on his truth
Seeking and obeying his word lead to the Spirit’s fruit
Your faith will grow strong and you will overflow with thankfulness
You will find hope amidst this world’s trials and challenges.
Jeremiah 17:8 talks about the trees planted along the riverbank with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they never stop producing fruit. If we focus and get rooted in the truth of God’s word, we will have a deeply rooted foundation and we will not be tossed easily by the wind and forces around us. In Colossians 2:7, Paul emphasizes the importance of building our lives on Jesus. He is the cornerstone of a strong faith. Without him, we will be confused, chaotic and lost.
PRAYER
Lord, help me grow my faith in you.
REFLECTION
How can you protect yourself from sin and hopelessness?
