“Plant your roots in Christ and let Him be the foundation for your life.” Colossians 2:7 CEV

The essence of planting is in the roots — without them, you would have nothing to plant! Planting is also all about the soil and the nutrients it provides.

1 Corinthians 13:13 depicts love as the most important thing in life — the most important foundation and soil for any heart. 1 John 4:8 says that “God is love”. So we see that the roots of our lives are to be planted deeply in the most important and nutrient-rich soil: Christ, who is love.

Living in this busy world, we have to re-plant our roots in Christ every day, so that they may be filled with the God-kind-of-life that gives strength to every branch. As we do that–as we build our foundation upon the great building block of Christ’s love–we will grow to be “oaks of righteousness…the planting of the Lord.” (Isaiah 61:3, AMP)

That is my goal. How about yours?

“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 NKJV

Join me on this blog as I share my journey of planting the roots of every area of my life into Christ, my Savior.

In this blog, I will cover the many categories of life, and how to establish each one into the soil of God’s Word. Categories such as:

• Safety
• Peace
• Trust
• Love
• Desires of the Heart
• Healing
• Your Home and Family

…and many more! If you ever have any questions, or have certain topics that you would like to see covered, please feel free to e-mail me at plantedinlove@yahoo.com.

If you do not know the Christ of which I speak, and would like to know more, go to the Eternal Life page. You will never regret it.

Many times in my quotations, I will abbreviate Books of the Bible and their translation sources. Click here to see the abbreviations for the Books of the Bible, and scroll down here for the Bible Translations’ abbreviations.
