Wheat and the Tare

As I reflect on love. I always think about the parable of the wheat and tares. So as we engage and join the various organizations or even social events. We all desire peace, brotherly love, and love interactions. We want every one to get along and just love on each other. 😍 🌾 ✌ 🗺 

But there will always be tares mingled in with the good. There will be good people in a group as well as some trouble making, divisive, and fault finding tares. But God uses them too. The enemy sowed them in while no one was looking. Is 100% peace possible. I would say no. But God promises to separate the wheat and tares in the end. So I like to remember nothing is perfect but be wise. The tares don't always reveal themselves but they are among the group. For that reason we might not see 100% peace on earth. 🌾 Sometimes they think God is telling them to do evil things to others. Jesus told some Pharisees they were from the devil but in their minds they didn't think so. But love is the mark of a Christian. The tares will steal money, kill people, and cause problems. The Pharisees followed Jesus around just to plot on how to hurt him. But God was there. There was wheat and tares back then and guess what they are still around doing the will of the devil. As Jesus did good the tares came along.......why..... because the enemy sowed them in. He included them. 

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

The servants asked to remove them but the master said no. If you remove the tares you might hurt the wheat. He said let them GROW together until harvest time. 

Put up with the tares. You can't uproot one without the other. They are tangled and grow close together. 

They are not stopping their bad behavior and God will have to pulled them up in the end. 

They work hard to hurt, lie, and find fault all day but they serve God's purposes and plans and he know they are among the groups, churches, or social events. But they come from the enemy. Why do the enemy sowed them in. To disrupt God's desire for love and peace. But when harvest time come we will be separated. If you are the wheat don't follow a tare. Don't be confused. Read the bible for yourself and determine your position. Are you the light? Or the trouble maker in darkness. You can pray for peace all day but God trust us to be wise and follow him because their are tares among the wheat. We not called to find and focus on tares but know they are there. God is aware of them. Some of us realize it others don't but for peace let God separate in the end. 

Do you think sometimes people marry tares when they are spiritually young?

Can you belive the devil has people too. We might desire love but they might be plotting your hurt. You thought they was a friend but when you begin to rise in God they turned on you. They didn't want to see God's plan in your life. That's a tare. It's that one moment they wait for. You become stronger wheat 🌾 because God sees the challenges and you can stand straight up even as that tare keep trying to pull you down. A tare leans downward. But wheat stands up straight, people that's always trying to bring you down might be the seed of the enemy. No one is perfect even the wheat is GROWING but the tare never stands up straight its always doing something bad. 

Have a beautiful day!
