In order to bear fruit, my heart needs to be receptive to spiritual seed. I need to pull up the weeds of worldly passions. Addressing these issues superficially is not enough; they need to be addressed at their roots. As these desires gradually change, I am better able to receive new spiritual seeds. This transformation is a slow process that takes time. Even so, I am encouraged to see the worldliness slowly losing its hold on me and the spiritual seeds taking root.
