Today as I weeded my garden and enjoyed the voices of my kids in the background, I pondered what weeds might be growing in my heart. What is it that the Lord wants to remove from the soil of my heart? How about you? Do you too, have weeds like mine that need to be pulled by the hand of our expert Gardener? In our efforts to hold on to things that appear beautiful from the outside, we become unaware of what the consequences of keeping something that was never meant to be trapped, trapped in our heart's soil. Discontentment, jealousy or the like, whatever your weed may be, be sure to give it up. Let it be pulled by our caring Gardener who wants to see us grow and flourish. We will grow and become that beautiful flower He intended us to become if we allow Him to keep the soil of our hearts tilled and weeded.
Lord, grab a hold of the weeds in our hearts that we may bloom for you and that others may see the beauty you intended for us.
John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener."
