When planting a garden we must dig out weeds
And loosen the soil before we plant seeds.
If we leave roots the weeds will grow back
And crowd out our seeds. We cannot be slack.
Sometimes our hearts have soil which is hard.
And weeds can creep in if we let down guard.
If soil is tilled with prayer and the Word,
By goodness and beauty our hearts will be stirred.
The Word gives instruction in how to "pull weeds"
And plants in our hearts some very good seeds!
The riches of God will blossom and grow,
And a garden of blessings will happily show.
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
Matthew 5:8 KJV
