The place to which they extend their thoughts is their root, which elevates them through all levels to the Father. --- The Gospel of Truth
In 1947 ancient writings From the very beginnings of Christianity were dug up in the deserts in Egypt They became known as the Nag Hammadi find, and later were called Gnostic Gospels, although not all of them were exactly Gnostic. The Gospel of Truth is one of those ancient manuscripts.
There is so much in this Gospel that is fascinating. I am currently rereading it and discovering gems that are meaningful. The above quote struck me this morning. Is the root is us reaching to God through thought, word, and deed, which grounds us in spiritual principles? As we extend our roots into the spiritual domain, we are fed, guided, and lifted. All of life is different.
A question to ask ourselves then, Is what are the predominant thoughts and words and deeds we are engaging in regularly in our lives? Are we focused on the trivia of life, the outer of life, ultimately meaningless things? Or are we rooted in the More? Are we simply skimming the surface? Are we sinking our roots deep?
The prophet's words come to mind, "Like A tree planted by the water, I shall not be moved."
