Roots of Connection

The redwood tree is one of the largest trees in the world. This tree fell over. The interesting thing about a redwood tree is that it has a very shallow root system.

When a wind storm comes the tree will fall to the ground easily except for one thing. The redwood looks to connect its root system with other trees. When it is joined with other trees then it stands for hundreds of years and towers above about everything.

I believe that God planned mankind to work on the same system. We are to reach out to the world around us, connect with them and hold them up as they hold us up.

The more I mature in my faith, the more I believe to serve God is to reach out to mankind.
