A Flower, Not a Weed

(This is a photo of some flowers we had in the Spring of 2010)
I was outside, a little while ago, watering the potted plants and flowers on our back patio. As I was watering one particular flowering plant, I looked a little to the side, and saw that part of it was entertwined with the "Plant" growing in the pot beside it....... I looked more closely, and saw the other "plant" was actually a weed. It had been getting watered right along with the real flowers...... I got to thinking of the Parable of the wheat and the tares, which is found in Matthew chapter thirteen in the Holy Bible.

All of this thinking made me realize how much I want to be a "flower", not a weed......though it's been getting watered and is thriving with healthy looking green leaves, right beside a pot full of REAL yellow flowers, it is still a weed......
Living for God, and Pleasing Him, MUST be my top priority. Nothing else can ever be as important! If I will continue praying and reading His Word every day, and going to His House to Worship Him when I am able, and if I not only hear, but obey the preached Word.....I will thrive and grow spiritually......I must try to make sure that I surrender my will to Him daily, and that I walk through life totally filled with His Precious Spirit, the Holy Ghost.......

Because I DO NOT want to be the weed that is "blooming" right along with the beautiful Flowers cultivated by the Master Gardiner in our Church! I want to be the "real thing"! I want to live with sincerity and be genuine........
As the old song says: "I love Him too much, too fail Him now!"
He is returning soon, and, as another well - loved old song says: "Oh! I want to see Him!"
He is my life..........
