Reflection: Pull out the weeds!!

Uncle Jeffrey mentioned that all the thorns (and perhaps weeds too) are all the worldly desires that will eventually choke us and kill us, and separate us from God.

What he said had caused me to really think about my life. Much as I will like to say I'm the good soil, but I'm sad to say that I'm not. In many ways, I've been caught up in all the worldly ways, conforming to the nasty ways of this world - work, relationships, school, behaviour even!
I reckon I was much more involved in school alone, and was definitely really rash and disobedient to God's commands, and was also acting more ungodly.

Even now, I know I'm bad...but I'm changing...or at least, I do see myself changing...

God is slowly, but surely, pulling out all these weeds and thorns that are killing me and sucking the life out of me. I want to bear fruits!!
Also, with the help of the Holy Spirit that God has given to me, I'm seeing things in God's ways, and also having more self-control over my actions.

The weeds are still there...they will continue to sprout out. And I will continuously lean on God's strength and help to remove them.
