"He answered them, "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to those outside everything comes in parables, so that 'they may look and see but not perceive, and hear and listen but not understand, in order that they may not be converted and be forgiven.'"" Mark 4:11-12
I have a friend/mentor who says your life is a parable. What part of the scripture is your current life, which story do you relate to? Maybe you don't relate to the gospel because you don't see yourself living the gospel. If this is the case you are on the outside looking in. This past week, look back and see, perceive and understand for you are living the word of God. Now are you the persecuted or the one doing the persecution? Are you the one helping or the one needing help or the one too busy or afraid to get involved? You live God's word each day, live them as Jesus would. Be different in a world that denies Christ. Live with Jesus on the inside and be forgiven.
Dear Heavenly Father, it isn't easy being attacked, it isn't easy to offer assistance when busy, Your Son Jesus never did easy. Show me in my own life what I must do to be better. Teach me Your parables so I learn and can be more effective. Help me respond as Jesus did and help me get me out of the way. Love me as You loved Your Son, for I am Your son. I ask this in Your most holy name, Yahweh, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
