As a weed growing in the garden, so too is sin in our lives. Much like a weed, if sin is given nourishment, it will continue to grow and to spread until eventually the garden of our soul is overrun by it. However, if we deprive it of the necessary nourishment, it will slowly wither away and die. When we see the temptation to sin before us, we must make the decision whether we shall feed it or deprive it.
