at church today..

I skipped the morning service bcoz I'm on a 'be early campaign' and since I was late the punishment was to wait for the next service to start..

Im glad I made it for the full service..

Rev Alvin Chan spoke about the good and bad in our lives and how there's always gonna be bad weeds around us whether we like it.. people who are rebellious or even those who influence us in negative ways..

but in the parable from Matthew 13:29-30 when the servant wanted to remove the tares(bad weeds) among the wheat and go after the enemy who planted the weeds, Jesus said

"No,because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "

A good lesson to learn .. few lessons to take with this parable.. but to pick out something that related to me .. i was reminded that often I've been too quick to judge, to look down upon those who seem inferior and detach myself from them fearing that they are like weeds to my life.. But we are only human.. and who are we to judge when we sin like everyone else..
