Day 12 — Rooted in Love
- Scripture: Ephesians 3:17 — “That Christ may dwell in your hearts… as you are rooted and grounded in love.”
- Reflection:Growth requires roots deeper than fear. Love is the truest ground. Like deeply-rooted trees that weather extreme elements, because their strength comes from their connection to an enduring layer of stable soil, we are also tapped into that place. Love is that deep and abiding place for people on every level: emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical. We can hold tight in such ground and resist the divisive and destructive inclinations that come with fear.
- Practice: Place a hand over your heart and breathe slowly for one minute.
