when we try to deal with sin, we deal with it superficially. before you know it, it comes back bigger and nastier than before. the weeds i pulled out today were a reminder of how sin needs to be extracted by the root. at first, i felt victorious over the weeds i pulled out - only later did i realize that i had pulled them out surface-level. i was a bit aghast at how extensive roots can get; i guess sin works the same way. we think we can handle sin and take it out - but we can only get so far before we need God to point out hidden areas where sin is thriving and be the one to extract it from our hearts. just some stuff that the Lord was teaching me today.. i am so exhausted. today, i did yard work for 8 hours and was vastly dominated by the wild.
