Walking Therein

Planting the WORD, Reaping...

I was at a friend's blog tonight, and I was reminded of a chunk of wisdom a dear friend once imparted me, and I had to share it:

A friend of mine once described putting the WORD in as planting a good seed that, as it grows and fluorishes, it pushes the bad weeds up and out. And, that is not easy, either. We are talking about roots that we let grow in our children's lives that we must replace with the WORD and allow the WORD to work out the bad... and help and nurture as it is pushed out. The moral was that, just remember: the more of the WORD you put in, the more weeds will surface. Don't give up when you see them. Just know that the weeds will be gone and the WORD is going to be what is left very soon.

Yes. Thanks for that good word, Jacque. Planting the Word in our children's hearts is so very important. Teaching them to deny themselves is also of extreme importance but sadly, I think it is not often done anymore. Good reminders...

Thank You

You wrote that for me. It was precisely what I needed to read.

God bless,

Thanks for the comments...Sorry, not much in the mood to come up with some inspiring comment at the moment, or even to say "good job on the post", which it was...I had one of the worst nights at work, and I am very depressed about it...

Pray for me!! I feel like screaming and crying at the same time!!!!

Thank you for this post. God's been showing me this very thing, but I have a hard time surrendering some things. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Ahhh... and how diligently, also, we must be that no other seeds contaminate the soil... seeds of discontent, impurity, anger, etc. What an excellent reminder!
