2 Corinthians 6:11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. NKJV In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus shares a parable about our hearts. In the way only Jesus can, He reveals our hearts through the image of a seed and the ground it falls upon. This parable helps us understand the need for our hearts to be open to Gods Word. In one scenario, the Word lands on a rocky heart that is not willing to even consider the Truth of God and because of its hardness, the enemy comes to remove the seed of Gods Word. Another scenario displays a seed that begins to take root but then finds itself wrapped in the weeds of this world, eventually choking out the effect of Gods Word. The good news is that when we come to God with an open heart, the seed of His Word will change our life. Mark 4:8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty and some a hundred. NKJV When we come to God we should have open ears to hear His Word, open hearts that love without offense, open hands willing to give and open eyes to see His goodness. As we allow our hearts to be tilled like soil, the seed of Gods Word can be planted and the result will be beautiful fruit for the Lord! Open your heart to Him today and get ready for the harvest. Life Lesson: We should have open ears, open hearts, open hands and open eyes. Dear God, Forgive me for times when I have hardened my heart to Your Word or have allowed the weeds of this world to rob me of the Truth. Father, I give You my heart and ask that You break up any hardness and prepare it to produce the fruits of the Spirit in my life. In Jesus name, Amen.
