Kill Those Roots


See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Hebrews 12:15

For anyone who has ever had a garden you know how difficult it is to control those nasty weeds. They have to be uprooted completely and the roots killed or they just keep returning. 

That is like sin. It gets a hold of you and starts to choke your love, kindness, grace and everything else out of you. You have to kill that bitter root of sin be it hate, envy, lust, lying, gossip, and many more or you become a bitter person and not full of Jesus' love. 

So think about those nasty horrible roots in your garden and think about sin and its consequences. Don't allow yourself to be taken captive by evil and choked by sin. So start uprooting now! 

PRAYER: Lord how easy it is to compromise on what I know is right and little by little to fall away from my walk with you. Give me spiritual eyes to see evil and run from it. In Jesus' name. Amen.
