Last spring, I bought some corn seed which I sprinkled in my flower pot on the porch. At the beginning, the plants grew nicely and got really big, beautiful and green. I took care of them the best I could. Suddenly they turned brown and withered. After a short while, they dried up completely. What happened?

I started analyzing and found that corn was made for fields. My flower pot was not suitable for it. This experiment showed me the following: God has created me to have a relationship with him, rooted like the corn. He gives me critical nutrients for life. Therefore, my roots need sufficient space. His optimal care results in healthy fruit.

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him.

Colossians 2:6

Where do you get your nutrients from?
