So I asked the Lord, "Why are you allowing evil to grow in the world today more than ever before?" He then said, "Read my parable and understand my love." "But I fear for my children and their children?" Again, He said, Read my parable and understand my love. I will protect MY children and it is your job to turn the weeds into a harvest." "But I'm just a businessman, I said."
The Lord said, "Look around you, you encounter weeds (people who do not know me) every day. Your job on earth is to give them an opportunity to build a relationship with me. Not by a religion, but by a personal relationship that can change the world. The weeds (Evil) will continue to grow and there will come a day when the final harvest arrives, so your job is to turn weeds into a harvest."
The Parable of the Weeds Matthew 13: 24-30
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared."
The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
'An enemy did this,' he replied.
The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
Now is the time for all of us to demonstrate God's love and to tell of the love the Lord gives which comes in a relationship and not in fighting or other life actions. Most weeds will not listen, but you have to try with every person you encounter.
