weeds and flowers

The Holy Ghost makes an ideal traveling companion. If we are humble and teachable, He will take us by the hand and lead us home. However, we need to ask the Lord for directions along the way. We have to ask some difficult questions, like “What do I need to change?” “How can I improve?” “What weakness needs strengthening?”

What Lack I Yet? By Elder Larry R. Lawrence

1 john 1:8-10

Jude 1:4

Just as people can "creep in unawares", sin can easily creep in and slowly grow in us.  

John bytheway told a story about weeds taking over a little section of ground by the sidewalk. He plowed it all under and was very happy with his work. Soon, more weeds grew. He realized that although he'd removed the weeds, he'd left the ground bare and ready for whatever seeds happened to fly by. He cleared the little plot again but this time, he planted and nurtured grass. The grass kept weeds from growing. If some little weed managed to squeeze it was easy to pull it out.  

You get it. Sins and weeds. Good habits and lawn or flowers. 💐
