We all have weeds in the gardens of our lives. If we don't pull them somehow, we will get all "caught up in them." We will not be able to see our flowers. This could be our fruits?

Some weeds come out easily; others are harder and we need a tool to help loosen them (God's Word and authority?) We always need to remember not to rely on ourselves, our own strength to pull these hard-to-get weeds out of our hearts and minds. We must use our tool, God's strength, not our own.

It's hard work, pulling out all the weeds, but when we are done, it's time to sit back, sip a cold drink, and enjoy our view. That's our reward.
