Weeds . Unwanted, undesirable, aggressive and damaging. Left unattended, weeds can spread like a wildfire . Weeds can turn a beautiful garden like this....
Into an ugly mess like this in no time at all.
Weeds are a lot like bad habits and sin in our lives. At first glance it looks attractive and inviting. Like a Wildflower , it usually starts out to be beautiful and enjoyable before it gets out of control and turns into a bad habit and sin.
And then before we know it WHAM! It has taken over our life and now we have become a slave to the "Weeds." Little by little we allowed them to creep in until they have taken over .
We all have different weeds that have infected our lives. Some are simple surface weeds that are easy to see such as being messy, bossy or late all the time. These weeds are easy enough to pull out and stop from growing any further by making a conscience effort to change and try to become better.
Some weeds have deeper roots and require digging beneath the surface to find where the root took hold in the first place. The deeper the root the more power it has to spread and grow over into other places in our lives. These are the weeds that affect our attitudes and relationships. The seeds from these weeds take advantage of the bad soil and reproduce more and more ugly weeds in our lives.
The Good News is .....
Jesus is the "Master Gardener". He has the power to remove every weed from our life! All we have to do is ask Him to help us. Softly and tenderly He will cut away the weeds and get rid of all the ugly things that have taken over our lives until we are beautiful once again .
What are the Weeds in your life?
What habits and hindrances need to be removed?
Will you invite the "Master Gardener" Jesus into your garden today and allow him to tend to your weeds?
John 15:1-10
" I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful... I am the vine; you are the branches...This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit....As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you... Remain in love, so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."
HALLELUJAH!
PRAISE THE LORD AND SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!
