TAKE ROOT DOWNWARD AND BEAR FRUIT UPWARD
Isaiah 37:31 (NKJV)… They shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
The best type of growth is the kind of growth that is two dimensional. It’s the kind of growth where you get more rooted downward while you also get fruited upward as well.

Get rid of all forms of ignorance. Learn new skills. Expose yourself to new…
