Quote:
Keep your heart as you would keep a Garden. Your heart is a garden;
weed all sin out of your heart. Among the flowers of the heart, weeds
will be growing -- the weeds of pride, malice, and covetousness: these
grow without planting and cultivating. Therefore be weeding your heart
daily by prayer, examination, and repentance. ~ Thomas Watson
Hebrews 6:7
For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth
vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a
blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless
and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.
Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Lead me to weed the garden of my heart each and every day. Through
daily prayer, examination and repentance may I remove the weeds of
pride, malice and covetousness. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
