This morning, in the vegetable
garden, I was reminded that you don’t always pull weeds – not when pulling them
may uproot good plants (Matthew 13:24 – 30). Sometimes you just have to do the
best you can and wait them out, maybe trimming back a little here and there and
doing your best that they don’t take over good plants – these are the times
when the weed’s root system is such that yanking it out may destroy or damage
fruit-bearing plants.
It is easy to fixate on weeds
and forget the good plants – our mission isn’t to eliminate weeds, it is rather
to nurture good plants. We have to weed but we don’t have make weeding our
primary focus, if we do then we will not behold Him, not directly and not in
others…we’ll always be looking for weeds.
