Ephesians 3:16-19 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Chunky exposed root I picked up hiking in the Czech Republic in 2019, is filled with a large specimen of blue kyanite which represents the “living water,” Jesus. The greens are “life” that results from being “rooted and established“ with Christ. Green peridot, emerald, fossilized wood and rainforest rhyolite are surrounded by earthy slate, stone, amber, art glass and rusty nails to remind us of Christ’s sacrifice for us. As you move towards the top, light breaks through the darkness. Ammonite, a desert rose, a piece of rusted metal, tiger eye, pyrite with white quartz, citrine points, art glass and stone complete this blessing story.
