We have to stay alert as weeds spring up threatening to choke off the new life that's emerging in us through Christ. And it's not enough just to clear the ground of our old vices, we have to plant new virtues as well.  We have to be intentional about sowing seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  That way, we will reap a harvest of godliness over the course of a lifetime.
