Weakness


Admitting weakness is one of my weaknesses. But when I admit that life is hard, life tends to become less hard. Most likely life is the same but my heart has changed.

Weeding

"The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds; the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly become a theological wilderness."
-A.W. Tozer


This past weekend I learned that the Greek word "knowing" has two separate meanings; εἶδον (eidon) means "knowledge, to see, to ascertain" and γινώσκω (ginosko) means "knowing with deep intimacy, a relationship." I want to ginosko people. And myself. I want to weed out lies and cultivate truth. But I guess that's common sense. No one would choose to live in a thicket of weeds, right?
