Tare- able..

I love God for his wisdom and for his patience. I'm glad that he has appointed a time for everything. For everything there is a season and a purpose under the sun. Not even as Christians but as humans it is in our nature to try to figure everything out. To judge among ourselves whom we feel worthy for this or for that. The honest truth is, it will be determined at the end of the world. Unfortunately, there are people faking it and aren't gone make it, and they look just like Christians. Lets look at the parable about the wheat and the tare. It is written in Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus is teaching his disciples a very valuable lesson here. The seed in this parable is the word of God, the scripture says a man sowed good seed in the land and while the man slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. So, when the blade was sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. And the servant of the owner came in and said, Sir, did you not sew good seed in your field? form whence then hath it tares? He said unto him, the enemy have done this. The servant said unto him, wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, no; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat in my barn. My, my, my!!! Let's look closer into this passage as it relates to us today. I'll start with a question. What kind of seed do you have? What is it that God has given you to grow? To bear fruit, to multiply? He has given us all the measure of faith according to Romans 12:3 but what kind of seed do we have? Ok, now you have your seed, you plant it in the ground, on good ground, and it begins to grow. And as you begin to see the fruit of your labor you recognize that something is different. One fruit just aint as colorful as the other, however they look the same. People begin to question you. They question your work ethic, they question your personal lifestyle. They even question if God is even with you. But I'm here to encourage you and tell you that the enemy has done this. But not to fret because it is not our place to judge. God said let them grow up together, because while you trying to clean up the tares you start to damage the wheat. The faithful, the dedicated, the righteous suffer at the hands of the wicked when you try to judge. God said let Him do the picking and plucking and rooting out. Harvest time is coming and we shall all reap what we have sown. If we have sown discord among the brethren, clamor and hatred that is what we will reap. If we have sown brotherly love and forgiveness that is what we will reap but we are not here to do the picking!


     We find ourselves in tare-able situations in this thing called life. Trying to decipher what's real and what's fake, who is genuine whose not, who on your team and support you and who really don't care if you win or loose. My dear friends we must not waste the little precious time we are left with, with our eyes on each other. We must turn our focus and keep it on God. Endeavoring to keep ourselves holy and acceptable which is our own reasonable service. (Romans 12:1-2) We are to grow in love, in forgiveness, in wisdom, in strength, in faith. And I know sometimes that's easier said than done but the enemy is watching, and roaming the earth seeking whom he may devour. We must remain sober minded and be vigilant (1 Peter 5:8-9) Seek God for yourself. Know God for yourself, He is unchanging, and the most reliable thing you can count on. When all else fails, all hell breaks loose, people scandalize your name, friends and family walk away from you, everything falling apart around you and nothing seems right, grow up with the mess. God sees you. He knows your heart, He has seen the sacrifice and heard every prayer. Keep GROWING UP! Don't let life or people tare you down.
