Destined for Division

"The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way... The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn" (Matthew 13:24-30).

Though tares and wheat together grow,
They soon will be divided.
In harvest time the Lord will show
Their destinies decided.

Humanity is racing toward
That day of separation
Between all those who love the Lord
And those without salvation.

The tares may share their favorite verse:
"Judge not lest you be judged",
But they shall not escape the curse;
God's wrath shall not be budged.

The Lord is bidding all to come:
But tares will choose derision.
And thus they shall be parted from
The wheat by their decision.
