Weeds Grow Everywhere

I'm not much of a gardener or landscaping person, but I've noticed that weeds can literally grow anywhere.  In the garden.  In the lawn.  In your landscaping.  And even in your gutters.  Weeds don't seem to need very much of anything to grow.  Doesn't matter if you're in a drought or if you're getting tons of rain- weeds can grow.

For things you actually want to grow though- like flowers and grass- it's not that easy.  You need seed and you need sunlight.  You need moisture- not too much and not too little- and you need to keep threats like weeds and pests away from what it is that you want to grow.  Getting the things you actually want to grow is a lot of hard work.

In my life, I don't need to work too hard to get weeds to grow.  Negative habits, sin, unhealthy choices- those things are like weeds- they need very little to take root and sprout.

But the good things- positive habits, fruits of the spirit, good disciplines- those things take work, effort, time, and attention.

It's no wonder why we often see more weeds and less fruit- it's simply easier.
