Our human minds must first surrender to God’s love so our hearts may open to comprehend Jesus’s parables. If we do so, Christ, in our lifetime, will reveal mysteries of the kingdom of heaven if you hear with the love within your heart and rely less on your intellect. I know now that my intellect needing proof left me neutral for decades. Once love's vulnerability rose to the surface, I began to understand far more. Understanding mysteries comes with the responsibility to act and be present with God’s gifts. The more we absorb, the more we learn to allow Grace to flow through us to those who need it. The true measure of accepting perception, enhanced listening skills, and being and doing with what is received is self-observation of the growth in humility.
