Overgrown

While walking with the Lord we passed land that was clear, but is now being covered with growth. He began to speak to my heart.

As the bushes start to grow, people who are new to the area will not see the "No Entry Private Property" sign. And they can, with a clear conscience walk on the land, not realizing that it is private.

He likened it to a lady who has started her life with the Lord and wears chaste clothing and then little by little has allowed the world's code of dressing into her life. People may then come along and think that she is open to all kinds of worldly behaviour because she has allowed the worldly weeds to throttle the truth.

This is a picture of anything that we allow to choke what the Lord is doing in our lives. It always happens little by little, so one does not tend to really notice. But I feel as this is from the Lord that He would like us to check and see.

Thank you Lord for showing us your truths. You care so much for us.
