BY THAT BIG FISH
BY GIVING A FLEETING THOUGHT
TO THOSE WEEDS THAT PROUDLY SIT
AMONGST THE WHEAT.
THE WOLVES AMONGST THE SHEEP SO TO SPEAK.
THEY DON'T BELONG.
AND JESUS KNOWS EVERYTHING.
I THINK I AM FINALLY STARTING TO UNDERSTAND
PROVERBS 4:23.
HOW DO I GUARD MY HEART?
FOR STARTERS, FORGIVE AND FORGET.
FORGETTING IS THE HARD THING.
LETTING GO OF THOSE HURTS YOU HAVE HELD ON TO FOR SO MANY YEARS.
THEY'VE ALMOST BECOME YOUR FRIENDS.
WHAT GOOD ARE THEY DOING YOU REALLY?
IT'S JUST THE ENEMY,
GOD SAYING - "HAVE YOU CONSIDERED
MY SERVANT SHERRIE?",
I SAY HOPEFULLY.
THIS UNFORGIVENESS AND NOT FORGETTING
IS, IN ACTUALITY,
HURTING ME MORE THAN THE WEEDS.
IN FACT, I DON'T THINK THEY ARE BEING
HURT AT ALL.
LOOK HOW FAST THEY ARE GROWING.
BUT ME?
I BEAT MYSELF UP ON A DAILY BASIS.
I WANT TO PLEASE MY SWEET JESUS
MORE THAN ANYTHING.
WHY ADD ANOTHER SIN ON HIM?
HASN'T HE PAID ENOUGH,
PAINFULLY BLEEDING PROFUSELY ON THAT CROSS?
HE SAYS HIMSELF IN HIS WORD,
IF YOU'D TAKE A MINUTE OUT OF YOUR BUSY
SCHEDULE TO READ,
THAT THERE WILL BE WEEDS AND WOLVES
AND THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT.
BUT TO NEVER BE AFRAID,
FOR HIS ANGELS AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT
SURROUND US
AND HE LIVES IN ME.
MY SWEET JESUS,
HOW I LOVE THEE
EVEN AMONGST THESE SILLY WEEDS.
PROVERBS 4:23 -- ABOVE ALL ELSE, GUARD YOUR HEART, FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FLOWS FROM IT.
MATTHEW 13:26 -- WHEN THE WHEAT SPROUTED AND FORMED HEADS, THEN THE WEEDS ALSO APPEARED.
