New Year, New Beginning

I wanted to share something out of the book that makes alot of sense....about how some of us lose that attachment and how it should really be referred too. I know some of you know this and live by it every second of your life, but I wasn't to an extent.

"Everything that God created, from the elements in the heavens down to the last detail on Earth, was called out of something. He called light out of darkness; He called land out of water; He called fish out of the ocean, animals out of the dust of the ground, and plants out of the earth. All of these things have a relationship dependant upon their souce. For example, a fish is dependant on water to survive. Plants must remain in contact with the ground in order to grow. An animal designed to live and breathe on land will drown if you force it to exist under water, where it was not created to go. Why? Because th earth and water are the foundational sources for animals, plants and fish.
Your source is none other than God. You were created to remain in contact with Him. You were created from the substance of the Almighty, and because of this fact, you, like all other created things, cannot properly survive or function apart front your foundational source. If you remove a fish from water or plant from the ground, it will lose its identity. They cease to exist in the way they were created. The same is true with you and me. Remove us from our source, which is almighty God, and we cease to grow and produce. Sure, we may become something else, but we have lost our true identity."
