Ive mentioned before that Jesus often spake in parables to convey or get a certain message across... once again here is my feeble attempt at the same... the message was for me, just sharing.. so if it blesses you.. so be it.. Two brothers went away to college. One brother became a farmer, the other brother became a brilliant, wealthy lawyer. The lawyer brother visited the farmer brother and said, I cant believe youve not made anything of your life, youre out here on this farm! Look at me, look where I am. Im on Wall Street, im an investor in the stock market, I have clients who are millionaires. Here you are, stuck out here on the farm. I wonder what the difference between us is. and he shook his head in disgust and disappointment.. The farmer brother then spoke. He pointed out to his wheat field and said, Youll see two types of wheat out there brother. Youll see one type of wheat thats standing straight up. In the head of that wheat there is nothing. Its empty, thats why it is standing so tall, so high. Youll also see the second type wheat that is bent over. Thats because the head is full. Its a full head of wheat Some of us are standing straight up, we are walking tall. However, we are only able to do so because we are empty. It may look good on the outside.. but the inside tells a different story... Some of us walk a little bent over indicating that we are full... the test isnt what you have in your pocket but what you have in your heart... Im learning to thank God for this moment of being bent and humbled.. and for the feeling of being empty. Its now that He can fill me so that I can truly be used for His glory... even during this time of difficulty and things not going the way I had planned.. continuing to give my utmost for His highest.. even in the midst of daily falling short and missing the mark.. but remembering to continue to remain humble and full of Him.. have a blessed night #GospelBoyTellEm
