The Lord will not force us to grow in Him.
When we bow to Him the Spirit will do His work
and we will flourish and grow strong and fit.
Then we will not be able to contain our thanksgiving;
it will bubble forth and fill our lives.
Does it not feel good to be firmly rooted and growing?
Do you feel the joy of thanksgiving flowing through you?
Blessings this day of grace,

To be rooted in love with God is more than a feel good. The only way to express thanksgiving to God is to do his holy work.
To be deeply rooted in His teachings makes me feel good in many ways. Yes, to do His work is a way to express thanksgiving to Him but is not all we do for Him? Let thanksgiving bubble up and flow out from our hearts thanking God for all the big important things and all the little seemingly unimportant things that are His blessings to us.
