Grace for your spirit
The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with the worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. Luke 8:14
In order for a plant to grow it must have the nourishment supplied through the root system. If you choke off the roots, the plant will fail to grow. The giant redwoods of California and the Bonsai trees of Japan were the same size at one time, but the stunting of the roots changed the potential of the Bonsai The Bonsai are 18" tall while the might Redwoods are hundreds of feet tall. The same is true with a Christian. When are life is choked with worries, riches, and the pleasures of life, we quit growing. Let's get the thorns out of our soil, so we can bear fruit for Jesus. Our master gardener knows how to get the job done. Let Him work on us.
