“Let Them grow together”

James 1:2-4, Matthew 13:24-30

Jesus gave an analogy of wheat and tares growing together, and he didn’t say stop them from growing together, or forbid them from coming to me, but he said “Let them”. I don’t know where you are in life, but you’ll get to a point where you’ll ask yourself “why” am I doing what I’m doing? why am I persevering in fellowship, in forgiveness, In giving, in Love for my fellowman… We’ll I’ll repeat, “let the wheat and the tares grow together”; said Jesus Christ. I’ve always been taught that it’s not how happy, obedient, or how we appear to be in the times of rest and plenty, but how are you when all hell is going on around you, in your marriage, at work, in your family, in your finances, in your health, in your Neighborhood! This is what separates us as wheat, and tares. You want to know if someone is touched by the holy spirit, just look at them in adversity, look at them, if they are selfish, look at them if they lust, or love you genuinely as Gods creation, or in a humanistic way… Count it all Joy when you face various kinds of trials. Why, because the testing of your faith produces steadfastness, and if you don’t have “belief or steadfastness in God”, or if you’re not being stretched beyond you! I would reconsider the direction that I’m taking. Love and prayers!
