Are You Ready to Uncover the Roots?

Dear Father,

Are attitudes the fruit of the flesh?

No, child,

Attitudes are the root of the fruit of the flesh.

Roots develop in the dark and in secret,

Bring those attitudes to light that they may be cut off!

You can’t cut off a root without uncovering it.

While covered up it will continue to develop and will eventually bear its fleshly fruit.

There is nothing that I will put the ax to, that I will not replace with something much better to grow in its place.

Let me cut off the root of pride and I will give you the lowliness of mind of the Lord Jesus.

Let me cut off the root of revenge and resentment, and I will give you the grace to forgive and fill you with My love.

Let me cut off the root of jealousy and I will give you security and assurance of My unique plan and destiny for you.

Let me cut off the root of strife and I will give you peace that passes understanding in all circumstances.

Let me cut off the root of self preservation and I will give you life everlasting.

                                               Thus saith Papa

John 3:19-21  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 Luke 17:33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

CHALLENGE: Have the courage to uncover your attitudes that they may be brought to the  light that the Lord may cut them off and replace them.
