Good and bad seeds are thrown our way.
Either and both will grow in our hearts if we
let them in.
The seeds that thrive are the ones to which we give most attention.
Discerning weeds from wheat as they
sprout up in our own hearts and become tangled in our own ways of being requires
glasses of grace offered to us with patience and compassion by God’s Spirit.
However, when any of us with haste presume to weed
the larger field ourselves, there’s great risk of error from hubris and myopia.
At the end of all our days, have faith
that God will sort out the harvest justly, gathering what is good and throwing
the waste to the fire.
“Let anyone with ears listen!”
[ref: Matt 13:24-30,
36-43 and RCL reading for Proper 11, Year A]
