Disease


We have nematodes. The root-bloating, root-twisting, and ultimately root-destroying kind. The explanation for the vegetable garden's lack of growth has been found. Why is it so hard for things to stay healthy? Recently I realized that my spiritual life had too become diseased. I had ceased to nourish it properly. Without constant prayer, without constant pouring into others, without constant purpose it's easy to fall into the disease of deception. The deception that our faith is meaningless. After only a few moments of selflessness, my faith felt restored. God, you are so good- and Oh, how we need you! Brothers, let us humble ourselves so that our faith may grow.
