Roots Before Fruits

Fruit is a wonderful thing, but before we can experience it in all its delicious glory there are things that have had to happen, things unseen to us, hidden from plain sight. Right down to the roots. It's true in the physical realm and it is also true in the spiritual realm. Too often want the fruit, but not the roots. In other words, we ignore things we truly need. Sometimes we neglect what we need in the pursuit of what we want. We shout and praise and worship about the things we want, but ignore the deeper things.
