Diagnosis

These past two and half months have been trying and challenging. I have not been reading my Word as faithfully as I should, praying and fasting. I learned in a message that there are acute problems and then there are chronic problems. When you want to treat something acute you go after the stems. When you want to treat something chronic you go after the roots.  Our stems indicates our roots. Most of our stems aren't Godly because Jesus is not at our Roots. "We are treating the stems of our problems and neglecting the roots(Pastor LaQuetta Simmons)." This message hit home hard. Here I am after all this time of being saved and delivered and serving in the church....and Bam! Stems not of God begin to seap up. So where is my root?  What is my root? Because my stems aren't reflecting Christ. This tells me that I have to be courageous enough to be vulnerable and deal with the roots that are keeping me from growing into what God wants me to be. What you plant is what you reap. I say I'm a seed of God but my stems/fruit fail to show it at times. Be willing to look deep within and inspect your roots. Make sure your source is God. Not yourself, your boo, money, school, a job...etc. #I've been diagnosed
