It's easy to look at the world and pick out who are the wheat and weeds. "God will get 'em in the end", we think, but further reflection reveals that within our own hearts grow these two contrary plants forces, tendencies. Do we have to wait for the "end" to weed them out or can we begin now, one by one? Any gardener knows that as clean as a garden bed might appear after a "thorough weeding", it isn't long before the weeds start to appear again, and the weeding must be repeated. So with us, it makes sense to try to eliminate the weeds as best we can and be ready to face them again and again...truly a life-long process. Where to begin? God, guide me and help me to cultivate a fruitful and weedless garden as best I can with your help.
