With God all things are possible Posts: 3917	Weeding is an essential part of gardening. Weeds grow next to plants and if left alone, will eventually cause destruction. Weeds hinder the growth of what is good in a garden. Unchecked, they'll keep a garden from being fruitful. Jesus that the seeds of truth He plants in our hearts get crowded out by worries, as well as by our desires for wealth or our desire for more stuff. I can say I don't desire wealth, but the fact is, I wish we had a little more. Not a lot,. Just a bit more. Further, in a random hour almost any day. I probably have a dozen worries flit through my brain, I don't consciously decide to worry; in fact, I try not to. But still, the cares of this life march right on through. Jesus is the ONLY one who can GIVE me the fruitful life I long for. I CANNOT get it by trying harder, but rather by OPENING my life TO Him, letting Him eradicate the weeds of worry and covetousness, while cultivating contentment and trust. Ironically, the way to cultivate contempt is to simply STOP trying so hard. Trust grows when we SURRENDER to Jesus. For it is WITH God ALL things ARE possible Have a VERY BLESSED Tuesday SLL!! Father God. Guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You Amen

Angel in a Sorrel Coat Posts: 16030 Location: In a happy place	I struggle with the "weeds" too. Studying the bible it tells us not to worry and I try my best. We should put our trust in the Lord and give him our worries. But I am just made of dust and sometimes I loose my focus. This was great Ladyjockey...thanks for this one.
