weeds to darkness, plants to light

approaching the overrun flower bed was intimidating,
the weeds had conquered.
reaching in to begin;
separating weed from flower
was so tedious
trailing each root to it's base, it was hard to see where the plant began and the weed ended
mixed together, one by one.
it takes patience, persistence, dedication, deliberation
it takes one step at a time, one weed pulled, one plant redeemed
at the base the weeds were so intense, light couldn't get in, the growth was stunted, impacted, the life of the plant shortened, the healthiness taken away
the darkness was taking over and the only way to bring light in was one weed at a time.
One weed at a time. One step at a time. It takes time to change. From dark to light. From weeds to plants. It takes ONE.

ONE who is faithful to the process.
ONE who is undaunted by the enormity of the situation.
ONE who knows, who navigates, who is patient and wise, ONE who loves, ONE who wants to help. ONE who redeems. ONE who saves.
