If your lawn has ever been overtaken by weeds, you know it’s not enough to just trim down the leaves and stems. You have to deal with the problem at the root! Otherwise, it’ll keep popping back up. Pastor Mike Fabarez uses this analogy to talk about our hearts.
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
