After my mom came to our home, there is a special activity created in our home; pulling weeds. As I heard from our neighobores, previous two owners of this house never took care of the lawn. So, you can imagine condition of my back yard. According my mom’s expression, “I can’t stand seeing the weeds!” And there she is pulling weeds. I could not stay inside not helping my mom so, I started pulling with her. And now, I say “I hate the weeds!” While I was pulling weeds, I have found that weeds’ stragedies. Amazingly, they are similar to SIN, especially, hidden, light sin. First of all, they look like a good grass. If you look only surface, it is hard to recognize which the weeds are. It disguises really well. Our hidden sins can be covered by our behaviors in daily life. Especially, if we repeat the sin, we notice that the sin becomes “excused well” and considered not like big sin. Also, the weed has got deeper and stronger root than normal grass. I am amazed always how deep the roots are. Some of them litererally is longer than ten inches. If we think about our light sin that where and when it comes from, it probably is from long long time ago with just light reason. The weeds also spread quickly than the grass. If you ignore them even one day, it gets multiplies more than you can imagine like our repeated light sins. As you know, there are tons of products and methods to kill weeds. However, if you are not careful using them, you can kill the lawn itself too. If we do not use a right key, our soul and hearts can be hurt as we revealing our sin. It should be only by repentence to theLord as we know; not by good behaviors, theraphy or counseling. Getting rid of our hidden and light sins are not easy to do. It requires lots of effort, labors, and willingness. Also, it can be hurting when it comes out. However, when we get rid of it from the root, we can be free; sinfree! Because of Jesus, we can be free!
I asked my mom the other day when we pulled the weed “mom, do you think there is hope that these weed will be completely pulled off?” My mom said “I believe it so!” I know, it sounds too imaginary to compare but I think that weed and sin have very similar characters indeed. I hate weed, as well as sin!
