So even though I have bees buzzing around threatening me with attack for trespassing, thousands of angry ants running in every direction because I have disturbed their home, and I have been startled by some ugly spiders along with the uncomfortable task of being sweaty and gross, I will press on to bring this flowerbed back to the beautiful state I know it was meant to be. I find it encouraging to know that we can do the same in our walk with the Lord. We can resist the temptation to give in to the bees that buzz around telling us that we don't belong and the angry ants and the scary spiders that don't like the interruptions and try to scare us into submission. It is worth it to me to get a little uncomfortable during the process of pulling out the weeds that do not belong in my life. I want to be the beautiful plant that God intended for me to be, don't you? When people see me, I want them to see the beauty of Christ as He was meant to be seen. Not just glimpses of Him every now and then, but always. That can only happen when I become diligent in my weeding. Well, it is time to get back to work.
