Food For Thought: In my research I ran across an article that was talking about Weeds of Worry. To me when you are gardening you clean your space and start your planting. A week later you notice all these weeds. With great sweat and effort, you began the process of pulling up all those weeds because if you leave them your plants will be choked out. Worry is the same way, you are okay for a while then suddenly it seems like your life is just full of turmoil and potential problems, all in a days’ time. That my friends is called weeds. Weeds steal our sunshine and take away our peace. So, we must not leave those weeds in our garden to take over. We must weed our gardens regularly and create an environment for truth to take root in our lives so that we can grow spiritually and go on to bear much spiritual fruit.
