P. 76
successfully make positive changes, we need to have accountability. There has to be a respected and esteemed leader to set the boundaries, someone to be accountable to for our actions -- a spiritual conscience to tap us on the shoulder to remind us when we are at the threshold of making poor decisions.
We need help to destroy the roots -- the foundations of our continued misdeeds and prevent their return. Simply put: We need God.
However, there is a scenario where strong, deep roots provide a good foundation, and that is being rooted in Christ. Rooting yourself in Jesus means establishing that connection with Him so that you will never face life’s trials and tribulations alone. When the roots of your life are deeply embedded in the Word of Christ, there will always be a firm foundation upon which to build your life. And when the temptations of this life attempt to deceive you, that foundation will give you the confidence it takes to reject them.
