Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?” Jesus answered, “The knowledge about the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. The reason I use parables in talking to them is that they look, but do not see, and they listen, but do not hear or understand.”
Matthew 13:10-11, 13 GNBDK
Reflection:
There are times when we struggle with God's words and ways, perhaps it's because we have intellectualised the world around us. Now knowledge is not a bad thing, it is good; but we must be aware that it also gives us the fleeting sense of being godlike and knowing it all. The fruit from the tree was to give a sense of good and evil and make Adam and Eve like God, they fell for that temptation. We too follow suit, when instead of opening our hearts to God, we try to comprehend him and his ways through our intellect. Humility is the ground that breeds good faith, and it is unadulterated faith that helps us align with God and his ways.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ his son. May God's word renew your mind and heart to willingly yield unto him and may his Holy Spirit bless you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
