Colossians 2:6-7

Just as you have received so walk. Do you remember the passion and zeal with which you accepted God’s grace? That moment you realized you had no hope, but hope was already there for you? The determination with which we ran towards God. The initial reaction, the spark that exploded and changed our whole lives. We knew miracles were possible because in that moment we received the miracle of forgiveness. This is how we received. All else pales in comparison to this beautiful and priceless gift. But with each step we take away from that moment we tend to let it fade. It becomes not a motivator, but a memory. The greatest occurrence in our lives becomes a footnote instead of the love story of our lives. It is not we once were and now are; but we have started and must continue. We can not forget that first moment anymore than the leaves of the redwood can forsake their roots. In, through, and by the roots life has come to the whole tree. Foundation is immediately followed by growth; they must not, can not, be separated. And growth must be pursed like salvation was. Like our very lives depend on it. I have been rooted but must not tire of being built up. No it must be passionately pursued at all costs, less our roots be in vane.
