“Let them both grow til the harvest.”
Matthew 13:24-30
Today, Jesus reminds us that the kingdom of heaven can be compared to a good seed growing next to weeds. Jesus has planted good seeds in us. However, we need to be careful because we can be influenced by the presence of weeds around us. It can hinder us from following a faith-filled life, such as seeking our desires or choosing to live away from love. When we live like this, we can hinder the good seed of the word of God from bearing fruit in our lives. Sometimes, it is necessary that we experience difficult times so that we may seek change in our lives for the better. Let us ask Jesus today to be our guide and help us notice the evils around us, and to continue to persevere in the faith, stay committed to our spiritual journey, and listen intently to God’s words in our lives.
