Wheat and Weeds

In fields of life, both wheat and weeds, 
They intertwine, their destinies agreed. 
Righteousness stands tall, unwavering and true, 
While wickedness lurks, its shadows askew.

Patience, a virtue, whispers through the breeze, 
For hasty hands may harm the wheat with ease. 
God’s timing, precise, orchestrates the scene, 
As hearts unfold, revealing what lies within.

The Judge above discerns each hidden part, 
We, mere mortals, glimpse but a fraction of the art. 
So wait we must, with faith as our guide, 
Trusting in justice, where mercy and truth collide.

For good and evil dance their cosmic waltz, 
A symphony of choices, where souls exalt. 
And in this tension, character takes root, 
As God’s providence weaves stories absolute.

So let us learn to wait, with hearts ablaze, 
Embracing growth, our souls’ eternal maze. 
For God’s hand tends the garden, day and night, 
Where wheat and weeds coexist, bathed in light.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
