Weeds

Praise God for Christ who paid the penalty with His blood and cleanses all who receive His gift of eternal life. However, even though God sees us as forgiven through Christ’s work on the cross, our flesh continues to pop up new “weeds” that quench and choke out the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. If we pray and confess daily, it’s much easier to defeat Satan and sin. Are there some weedy patches growing in your life? Don’t wait until sin has you completely ensnared before you deal with it. Stop and ask the Holy Spirit to give you strength to pull out all those weeds, so your life might resemble a garden of Christ-like love.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
