Where do my roots lie?
"There is within the human heart a tough fibrous
root of fallen life whose nature is to possess, always to possess. It covets
"things" with a deep and fierce passion...The roots of our hearts have grown
down into things, and we dare not pull up one rootlet lest we die. Things have
become necessary to us, a development never originally intended. God's gifts now
take the place of God, and the whole course of nature is upset by the monstrous
substitution."
A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of
God
