As I was trying to remove some weeds from my rose bushes, I sensed the Lord speak:
Weeds rob productive plants of their resources (e.g. nutrients, water), and often entangle themselves amongst healthy vines, in order to inhibit the competing plant’s growth. At times, we can mistake weeds for wildflowers, but just because they are able to sprout blooms, doesn’t mean that they have the capacity to produce nourishing fruit.
Though western religion tends to equate growth with success, nothing grows more prolifically than a weed. There is much that “the church” has entangled itself with that consumes it’s resources, yet has no hope of ever producing genuine fruit.
I set before you life and death – choose life! (Deut.30:19-20)
