    Leave The Weed

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 8, 2020
     | 3,852 views

    "Weeding the garden" is something we believe is a good thing, but many times doing this can destroy the good roots around them. Jesus helps us grasp why working to remove the 'weeds' from your life is not necessarily His way of leading you.
