When we first bought our house, we had an amazing amount of landscaping to take care of. It was unbelievable! Well, the dog and I were outside on a nice afternoon pulling up those stupid weeds, and I realized that those weeds were like our sins. They ground themselves in your life and start to take root. Then, those roots spread out all over and start to kill off everything good that God has planted in your heart. The more they spread, the more they take over and the more they kill. One day, you realize that there is nothing beautiful or good left in your garden and it sickens your heart to know that you left it get like this. So you start to weed, but it is a struggle. You have to yank at the weeds and pull at the weeds and sometimes you snap them off, but don't pull the roots. Then a few days later, you go back to those old, bad habits, and you realize that you didn't do such a good job yanking up those weeds to begin with. So you start again, but you keep having the same cycle over again. Well, with the help and grace of God, you can break out the garden trowel and dig up those roots and replant the seeds of the beautiful flowers that you have lost and let die. All you need to do is pray and have faith
