One day my friend was looking at the beautiful blooming wisteria vine entwined in the fence by her home thinking how the woody vines just take over everything around them and choke the life out of it. They are extremely hard to eradicate once they've taken hold. Wisteria is actually an invasive plant that came from China originally.
And to make it worse, they only bloom a short while.
And the Lord spoke to her “That is like sin. It is beautiful for a second, then it does all THAT.”
