Will God not look after His own.

Here's something I was given about Wheat and Tares.

Wheat And Tares (Tares=pink)
What is the difference?
One is convicted in the Presence of God
The other is defensive
As a result, one knows God & is known by Him
The other does not know God, nor is known by Him
Both may look the same*-- have similar-looking talk, works
Both think they talk to God, hear from God, are empowered by Him
One draws men to God
The other draws men to himself
One is life-giving food
The other is counterfeit
One is constantly being corrected, & grows spiritually & in humility
The other is being fed intellectually &/or emotionally, & grows in hardness (spiritual pride)
One is convicted of the same sins he sees in others
The other is thankful he is not like those he considers his spiritual inferiors
One repents at the most gentle rebuke of the Holy Spirit
The other requires bold hard correction, & is still likely to reject it
One knows he is not worthy of Salvation
The other bases his worthiness upon his religious activity (he thinks) FOR God
Since he does not have to DO to maintain his illusion of worth, one is at rest -- whether openly serving, or inwardly communing
The other must be religiously busy to keep alive his sense of value & safety before God
The scary thing is that both 'know' that they are right with God
Until they meet Him face to face*--
One is confirmed, having the same spirit
The other is rejected, having been deceived by a religious spirit
Both may teach & "believe" the same doctrines
But one is a tare & the other wheat
One admits he has no right to be there except by the blood of Christ
The other tries, unsuccessfully, to defend himself by his record of works
One spends eternity in the Presence of God
The other spends eternity in the presence of his god

Which are you?
If you think you cannot be deceived, then you already are
Can, & do you receive correction by the Holy Spirit through "unworthy" vessels?
Do you defend yourself against your own conscience (what is left of it) by remembering/relating your "good works?"
Are you easily 'insulted' when doubted or accused of wrong?
Or thankful for an opportunity to possibly draw closer to God?
You know which best describes you.....
So you really know whether you are wheat or tare.....
You cannot change your own nature.....
Only One can, & you have to give your permission.
All of us start out in life as Tares
Some become wheat & continue as wheat
Others become wheat & turn back from the Way
They may, or may not, keep mostly the same "beliefs"
But are on a different road, going a different direction
And ending up in a different place......

Not every one who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father, who is in heaven.* "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'
And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'** Matt. 7:21-3
