Chuck Swindoll on the radio today was reminding us that God allows the weeds to grow up alongside the wheat, and He doesn't explain why. We are unable to tell the difference between good and evil sometimes because they look alike while they are growing and we have to see what kind of fruit they bear before it becomes obvious.

Reference: "Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ” Matthew 13:24‭-‬30 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.13.24-30.NKJV
