Most people have certain sections of their lives where, for various reasons (mostly unknown to themselves), they do not wish to make any change. These places are set aside and surrounded with an aura of spurious sanctity like the sacred cows of the East, which are considered too holy to be touched. But if you really mean business about regenerating your soul and body, there must positively be no sacred cows in your life.
Nothing is truly sacred but your own Indwelling Christ and the process of His awakening.
Awake thou that sleeepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light (Ephesians 5:14).
In all likelihood, those negative behaviors most protected by us are the very ones most in need of addressing. If we are to eliminate the root cause of our problems, we must get to the roots. Most often, those roots are the ones that grow from the things we do not want to change or give up, yet which are in opposition to God’s will.
Be assured, that when we root out those desires most precious to us which separate us from God: then our gardens will be free of the stubborn weeds that crowd out the flowers and have been the hardest to eliminate. Once removed, our gardens will flourish with the life-affirming and joy providing plants that lift us up and bring us closer to God.
Digging deep,
