LEAVE THE WEEDS

Did you ever wonder why Jesus spoke in parables? We think that He wanted everybody to hear His teachings.  He does want everyone to want to hear Him, but some don’t.  He tells us that if you seek me, you will find me. If you ask, I will answer. And if you knock, I will indeed open up that door. If you don’t, that’s on you because I was speaking to you every single day, and you never had the heart to know me. 

His parable of the wheat and tares talks about weeds that grow up in a crop of otherwise good seed.  He expects us to gather the harvest, and He tells us to leave the weeds.  He hasn’t called us to be weed gatherers. It’s the Lord’s job to bundle together the weeds. It’s not my job to go pulling weeds out of everybody’s life. I don’t say things like, “I see a weed in your life. Excuse me, Sister Susie Rottenheart. I understand you have sin in your life.”  I’m not pulling weeds out of anybody else’s life. 

I am producing a harvest, and it’s the job of King Jesus to remove the weeds. My job is to produce the harvest. When I first began to understand this, I saw that I serve a very good God and that it’s not God that causes all the weeds in my life.  The enemy is what has sown that into my life.   

Sometimes, I have very ignorantly partnered with the sowing of weeds in my own harvest.  Then I repent and tell the Lord, Lord, should we just go to pull all these weeds out?  He says No, I don’t want to risk the harvest. I don’t want to risk one single seed of the harvest. That harvest is so important to me, Troy. He knows that sometimes I’m a full-blown knucklehead. But He says that there will be a harvest, and He will burn the weeds. 

Friends, if you could look at King Jesus as the weed burner, that would give me so much hope. I’m like, King Jesus, would You please burn and gather up all these weeds? And He says, I sure will, once you get through producing a harvest. I want a return on my investment.  

Declaration:  My harvest for the Lord will be abundant because I am focused on Kingdom work.  When I make mistakes and produce weeds in my harvest, I confess to Jesus and let Him pull out the weeds.  I walk in an atmosphere of goodness and mercy for all those around me.  I look past their weeds and see the Lord at work in their lives.
