I am the vineyard

I'm up too late, but here's a thought on Jacob 5. We know it's about the fathering of Israel, BUT I think it's about personal progress too. I feel like I just want to burn it all down and start over sometimes. I have places with good soil and rocky spots. Sometimes, it seems like no matter how much I nourish a weakness, it doesn't get stronger. Other times, my strengths fall short.  

It's a process. I don't know when my last day will be. I waste more time than I'd like. It's important to keep working on it. Keep pruning, digging, feeding, and grafting in better bits when you can. I'm pretty grateful that Jesus is always there to say, "Spare it a little longer." or "Keep trying. You'll get it."
