When you dig up or pull a dandelion down to the root, after the army of ants scurry away, there is a hole left in the ground. Likewise, when we allow the Great Gardener to dig up our secret lies down to the root or heart of the matter, there is also a hole left.
If you leave the hole empty, well, the Bible tells us that the army returns to check things out and if they find it empty, they bring seven more soldiers with them.(more lies to fill your head) .Matthew 12:44.
God wants to fill the hole with truth and love! His Word is truth. You have to eat of it to fill the hole. Nourish to flourish. Read His Word, study His Word and let Him create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you. Psalm 51.
My daughter, when she was 1 1/2 years old, was helping me pull dandelions out of my flower garden. I was busy and didn't notice her walk away. When I looked up
, I saw her by the house. She had taken one of the dandelions. She turned it upside down putting the root in her hand and dipped the leaves and bloom in a puddle. She then proceeded to paint my house with that dandelion weed as her paint brush. I had to laugh, it was so creative.
God can take that same weed/lie or sin in your life and turn it upside down in His hand when we bring it to the light by surrendering it to Him. He will dip it in the puddle of the blood of Jesus Christ and paint for you a whole new beginning.
Are you ready for the mess? I can tell you it is worth it! Jesus will take what the devil had planned for destruction and turn it into something beautiful to use for His glory.
