Finally decided to pull the ugly weeds in my yard....one weed that was growing was about 3 feet tall! It was right in front of the house in plain sight behind our prickly red bushes which hide the railing that needs replacing. Weeds were growing in between the azaleas, the rhododendrons, around the purple heart, under the rosebush, etc. Pulling the weeds made the flowers stand out more. Pulling the weeds gave more room for the pretty flowers to grow. Pulling the weeds made my yard look great!
I have weeds in my life. They are ugly; they take up space; they prevent me from growing. My worry weed makes me tired. When I trust God I pull it out and my energy returns! My self pity weed makes me think about myself too much. When I look around at people who can't walk, or even feed themselves, God shows me how blessed I am and really wouldn't want their problems anyway. My anxiety weed makes me think I have control of my life--ha! God not only created me, He has orchestrated everything in my life just the way He wanted; He is in complete control and nothing surprises Him. My selfish weed makes me angry when people ask too much of me. God gave His son for me, can't I help those around me?
I will continue to pull out the weeds God shows me. I want Him to water, fertilize, and shine His light in my life so it can be a beautiful flower.
