The Wheat Among Weeds

The Wheat Among Weeds

        (Matthew 13:37-42)

 

To go out into the world,
He plants good seed.

The children of His Kingdom,

To help set others free.

 

The field is the world

To bring to the harvest.

To reach the lost,

To be eternally blessed.

 

Then, he that sows weeds is the devil,

Attempting to crowd out the believer’s faith,

To strangle and limit

All their ways.

 

Among wheat are the weeds left

So both may grow,

Less the wheat be consumed with the weeds

By the fire ever told.

 

When at last, the wheat is reaped

And so too, are the weeds which surround.

The harvest comes and the weeds are sent

To burn in a fire that astounds.

 

The reapers are the angels

Who He will send forth readily

To rid the world of evil, and so too, will be gathered…

The wheat which afore were among weeds.

Powerful and strong words shared dear Melinda.
"The reapers are the angels
Who He will send forth readily
To rid the world of evil, and so too, will be gathered…
The wheat which afore were among weeds"
