It was on weekend when i was helping my mom to clean my front mini yard from the weeds.
As usual, i pulled out the weeds with my hands thus they're pulled till the roots. Cutting them was not effective enough to press their growth since the roots were left.
As i finished pulling the weeds out, i saw the soil was quite a mess here and there before i reconstruct them again into a better form. Then, at a glance i was amazed by the whole process i've been through with the weeds. The 'destruction' made by the pulled roots gave me an insight about consequences of pulling out the root and led me into a deeper understanding on how our Creator worked the same process with me (us).
1. In our life, there were weeds of problems (hurt feelings, bad habits, and trauma) that grew in our heart. Some weeds has rooted for quite long time thus pulling them out would definitely injure us. However, pulling them out till the roots is the only way to get our heart clean. Cutting them on the surface wouldn't solve the real problems.
2. The mess soil was torn due to the pulling out and that changed the structure of the soil. If i may say, it re-structured the soil. As the weeds in our heart pulled out, our heart was re-structured again.
3. Despite of the hurt of injury and the weird feelings of the 're-construction', there was a new strength within the soil. It's somehow more fertile and got more spaces for the flowers (good habits and joy) to grow. Soon, the mess made would be healed by the Mighty Gardener =)
What a great lesson from tiny weeds' root ^^
Soli Deo Gloria!
