Were you able to see that sometimes it is important to allow the fruitless tares to remain in order to allow the good word A CHANCE to do its work?

That same Tares and Wheat thing happens in us.
When we get something from God:..
  • when God plants something in us;
  • when we first get ahold of religion;
  • when we get that first love;
..it is important to use it, to go forward passionately in God,
  • Even though we know there are other things in us that are still wrong,
BECAUSE…

If we don't …
  • if we wait too long…
  • if we try waiting until God removes all the bad stuff…
We discover that God doesn't remove all the bad stuff first…
  • The good things simply die for lack of being allowed the room to grow.
...BUT…the weed that smothered them wasn't the bad things we were worried about… It was the choking doctrine of “We must be perfect-er before we use the seed that God has planted in us”.
  • We fail to correctly apply the doctrine of: “Let both grow together until the harvest".
It is IMPORTANT that we move forward, do what we know to do, share what we've got to share, sing our best with crackling voice, etc, etc, while we are still KNOWINGLY imperfect… BECAUSE…if we wait until we can do it "right”, we know that we'll never actually do it.

" All or nothing thinking”…otherwise known as “perfectionism”, lack of trust, or " pride”, is the true culprit.
