As the class began, God showed me a prophetic vision:

Jesus was inside the botanic garden (like yesterday) again. He welcomed me warmly to His garden. He was holding some plants and carefully putting them in soil.

The Lord said today class will be about 'Rooting'. He asked me,

'What is rooting to you?'

I replied, 'a seed that germinates and grow roots? a plant that grow roots?'

He then directed me to read the dictionary:

Root

(noun)

- a part of body of a plant that develops, typically, from the radicle and grows downward into the soil, anchoring the plant and absorbing nutrient and moisture.

- the source or origin of a thing

- the fundamental or essential part

(verb)

- to implant or establish deeply

The Lord added,

'As you noticed, rooting is also about anchoring and establishing.

Plants grow branches of roots to anchor into the soil to prevent shaking from weather and to absorb nutrients.

As My follower, each one of you is like these little plants.

When you are still a baby sprout, I take extra care after you and I am gentle. As you grow in spiritual maturity, your roots grow, your stem and leaves also grow. You will be covering smaller plants yet absorbing more nutrients. You need more nutrients and water to survive as you grow bigger.

I water My plants with My living water. You need My water to survive. I am also protecting you in My house. No storms or snow or sun or creatures can harm you. All you have to be is be still and I will make you grow. My Words are the nutrients that moisten your bones.

My Father has created for Me an even bigger house for all My plants.

There are so many varieties of plants in My house. In My garden I created variation. I created uniqueness. This is how I created you. You do not need to compare yourself with others - as even the same species of plants, all look different. But I love them all.

This is Day 6'

I was expecting Jesus to only talk about having Him as our rock and foundation. I did not expect He would talk about our identity and growth.

I was so touched by Jesus's love...

I also now understand why we 'bear fruits' of the Holy Spirit. Indeed we are all dear little plants in God's hand. He enjoys each of us with much affection, adoration and love. ❤

Psalm 139:14 NIV

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

John 4:14 AMP

But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life.

2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP

And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.

Matthew 7:24-27 NIV

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
