Musings from Inside the Window

I watched out the window as he drove the little mower back the little path to the edge of the property.  I watched as he began to drive around in circles and random directions.  I wondered if he knew how funny he looked?  And I wondered what he thought he was doing, it looked so useless.  As he came closer to the office it became clear that he was spraying weeds.  But I still thought it seemed like a somewhat useless endeavor.  Why not just mow the weeds off when you mow the grass?  Why spend all that time and effort and look silly in the process?  Besides, the weeds didn’t really look that bad.  And I caught myself right there.  Those weeds were like sin in my life.  Sin that must be gotten rid of.  Sin that really doesn’t look to bad to us because we don’t have the heart of the Master.  And that sin shouldn’t just be cut off at the ground so it could look ok for a while but soon grow back.  THAT SIN MUST BE DESTROYED.  No matter how silly we think we appear to others as we rid ourselves of it.  We must take on the heart of the Master so that we can recognize how terrible our sin really is.
