Much Is Possible Where There Is Hope

Much Is Possible Where There Is Hope For some of us, a simple explanation can tell all. For others, we need more that just words. Then there are others who will just never get it. A beautiful picture can paint a thousand heartfelt words. An exemplary individual can prove living a holy life is possible. A good story can help us see what we ought to see. However, sometimes even though the message seems clear, there may still be confusion, doubt and disbelief. Try to reach those who don’t understand the goodness in their lives. Perhaps sharing a parable might open their eyes in a new enlightening way. Jesus shared with his disciples, “The reason I speak to them in parables is that “seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.” We have all been given many gifts from Heaven. Only a believer in Christ can recognize their gifts already enjoyed. Only a spirit filled practicing believer can expect even more in abundance. Will you be sharing the parable or telling it? If you are sharing, tell your story with holiness in your heart always allowing The Holy Spirit to guide you. If you are the one who will be listening, groom your ears to pay attention, make ready your heart to receive, and train your eyes to take notice of the gift of a true story or parable shared by a person filled with faith. The only way you will lose, is if you just don’t get it. Keep from breeding a hardened heart by allowing hope to always be an option. Matthew 13:10–13 Then the disciples came and asked him, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’ He answered, ‘To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. The reason I speak to them in parables is that “seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.”
