“To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.” Matthew 13:12-13. Henri Nouwen said, “Listening is a form of spiritual hospitality, by which you invite strangers to become friends, to get to know their inner selves more fully, even to dare to be silent with you.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we thank You for You no longer speak with us in parables. You have the power to multiply our treasures and the power to
make those who look to see very clearly; those who hear to listen and understand very well. Lord increase our blessings every step of the way. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
