As I kneel among the weeds in the garden, I thought, "hmm, what can I learn from this?". In between the rows of peas is a mesh fence so that the pea plants can grow upwards, and my job was to pull out the weeds so that they could grow. Many times in the Bible, gardening is mentioned (John 15, Genesis 2). God clearly likes his gardens :). But our lives can also be described as a garden, with different fruits and plants growing.
We have weeds in our lives and some are easier to see and root up (at the front of the plant), but most of them we need God's help to really get to the root of it (behind). (Matthew 13)If we let these weeds grow, they choke out the good plants in the garden , but if the weeds are taken out, the good plants flourish and grow strong. It is similar with our lives, the problems in our lives presently are quite evident but those ones in our past are hidden. It's easier to just leave them or perhaps wish that they would disappear, but they do affect our future.
My question.... what weeds do you need God's help to root up so that you can move forward and flourish in the future?
