A plant such as this ruellia and the pineapple sage below can look as dead as can be if you look solely at their branches. However, new growth springs often up from the roots.
In his “Parable of the Sower,” Jesus emphasized the necessity of good roots for plants and for people,
“As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.”
“The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away ( Matthew 13:4-6; 20-21).”
In order to withstand the harassments of this life that can scorch you dry,
go deep into reading the Bible (especially the New Testament) and obeying Jesus’ teachings
