Chapter 4: The Roots

During the process of discovering intimacy with God, He showed me what was really at the root of my insecurity and pain. Salvation is a powerful thing but oftentimes we find ourselves saved but still bound when we don’t intentionally seek an intimate relationship with God. Once I understood the root of my brokenness, I saw that I needed to focus on God until he was the only thing in my view. I needed to seek after him until I had no choice but to see the whole world through Christ-colored lenses. Through him, everything can be seen so much more clearly, including me. This is because God is not opaque. He is light and he illuminates every space He’s in. So, when we let Him into the depths of our problems and pain, He really gets to the root and heals us from the inside out. The first root God revealed was my pride.
