There was a man who owned a bunch of horses, and one day one of the horses kicked a wood fence and scraped his leg badly.
The owner took the horse to his barn, cleaned the wound, and bandaged the animal's leg.
A few weeks later, the man noticed that the horse was still bothered by that bruise.
The owner called a veterinarian to come examine the horse.
After checking the animal, the vet prescribed some antibiotics.
Almost immediately, the horse responded positively to the medication and began to do much better.
A month or two went by, however, and the owner noticed that the injury still had not healed; it actually appeared to be worse than before.
So the vet put the horse back on antibiotics.
Once again the animal responded and was fine for few weeks, but then the process repeated itself.
Finally, the owner loaded up the horse and took him down to the veterinarian's clinic.
The vet put the horse under anesthesia and began to probe the injured leg.
Once he got deep enough, the vet discovered a large silver of wood that had gone far below the skin when the horse had hit the fence.
The vet realized that every time the horse went off the antibiotic, the infection caused by the foreign object returned.
They had been treating the symptoms rather than treating the true source of the horse's pain.
" We do something similar many times ".
We fix the surface things.
Only as you get to the root and start dealing with the source of the problem, positive changes can be expected realistically.
As long as people have bad root, they're going to continue to produce the wrong kind of fruit.
We are children of God, so we have the greatest power in the universe, inside of us.
We must get down to the root, so we don't go through life trying to pick off the bad fruit.
Take responsibility.
" Rise up and do something about the roots in your life
to be fixed perfectly
in order to experience good things of God ".
Your inner life will improve, you will have better relationships, and you will be happier and more fulfilled.
