What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

Letting the weeds grow with the wheat.


Here is another story Jesus told: 

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.” 

The farmer’s workers went to him and said, 
“Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?”

“An enemy has done this!” the farmer exclaimed.

“Should we pull out the weeds?” they asked.

“No”, he replied, “you’ll uproot the wheat if you do.” 

“Let both grow together until the harvest.”  

“Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, 
tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.”  Matthew 13:24-30

Should I pull out the weeds?

The weeds in me?
The weeds in friends?

The weeds in family?

The weeds in my wife?

The weeds in my kids?

The weeds in my teens?

The WEEDS in my TEENS? 

NO?

No.


The field where I planted that good seed is full of weeds.

Should I pull out the weeds?

No, I’ll uproot the wheat if I do.  (And I have.)

I will let them both grow together until the harvest.

I am quick to mistaken wheat for weeds.

I have a givenness to wheat, and because of this…
