Tarefying
 | | |
Having the wheat & tares together... Why no anxiety about this? When fully grown, tares stand out above the wheat. The battle is won in restraint and courage. Wheat and tares with their growing roots entangled. Pulling-out the taller tares is appealing, until we realize the potential setback for wheat with exposed roots. Mature the wheat for harvest, then pull the tares? But they seem to be rising as if to shade-out the wheat. Working around them requires more patience in faith. You see where this and these are going? Then the Enemy's back again, sowing more tares and what else. But the Master of the harvest remains steady... the harvest is nearing.
The good news is that the existence of a thousand counterfeits does not nullify the existence of the real thing. ---Mark
Paul writing to the Corinthians faced similar problems of false brethren. We must be aware of the counterfeit and this we can do only with the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit. ---Neville
...this reality check from Jesus has greatly encouraged me, like I can have a go again at mixing with Christian community. ---Emma
