When it comes to the subject of growth, lets take a second and think about a yard. I know you may not see why growth is something of repetition in this blog, but growth is what we are called to do in our relationship in Christ so that when we spread Him, we will also be an example of Him because of our growth in Him. So back to the yard.
If you take an old yard, where all kinds of plants have started to grow, and you plant grass, tell me, what happens? Grass grows. Perhaps even beautiful, stunning grass, but it is soon tainted by the overgrowth of surrounding of weeds.
This at times can become our spiritual lives. Jesus is stronger than sin, or any past. But when we seek to grow in Christ, we should also seek to root up bitter roots and things of the past that may hinder us, or take our focus away from Christ, so that now that the weeds are gone, the grass may grow exclusively.
Some refer to this as getting to the bitter roots. This is a much needed aspect when it comes to giving our ALL to Christ! So let us be ever watchful of our lives, and dig up roots so that our growth in Christ may be exclusive!
