Waiting

It's not too hard to wait. Jesus waits for us to see the truth, and He gives us time to turn from our selfish ways and begin to live for Him. I have a dying houseplant. Do I just put this houseplant in the back of the house and continue to care for it while enjoying my flourishing houseplants, or do I just throw it away? Like I said, Jesus doesn't throw us away or give up on us when we fail to thrive and are unpleasant to look at, and anyway, it's not that hard to wait.
(FYI, this is an allegory. I have no houseplants.)
