✝️ Just as a plant’s strength, beauty, and fruitfulness depend on each of its parts working together, so does our spiritual growth. From our roots to our seeds, each element plays a critical role in our walk with God. In this reflection, I’m breaking down the six parts of a plant as a parallel for our spiritual journey – how we stay rooted in Christ, how we reach for the light, and how we bear lasting fruit for His kingdom.

Today’s reflection invites you to ask:

• Are your roots deeply anchored in Christ, drawing from His living water?

• What spiritual growth is taking place in the hidden, unseen parts of your life?

• How are you investing in others and building a legacy of faith that will outlast you?

📖 “The one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed. He will be like a tree planted by water; it sends its roots out toward a stream, it doesn’t fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not worry in a year of drought or cease producing fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (CSB)

📖 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.” — John 15:5 (CSB)

📖 “Truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains by itself. But if it dies, it produces much fruit.” — John 12:24 (CSB)
