As a tree grows tall
and strong, its roots extend even farther into the ground, giving it a strong
foundation.  With these roots it can
withstand the harshest of storms, and at the same time these roots provide
nourishment, soaking up water that is vital to the tree’s existence.  Your roots are not in the physical world, but
in your true home:  the realm of
spirit.  It is these roots that allow you
to remain strong when winds storm about you. 
It is these roots which nourish you when the well seems dry.  It is these roots which feed you when you
thirst.

Go back to your
roots.  Soak up the nutrients that Spirit
sends you from within to grow ever stronger in this earthly existence until you
return to your true roots.  Rest assured,
it is these roots that anchor you.  Know that
you are firmly planted in your spirit existence and cannot fall.  With this knowledge, face your trials and
stand tall.
