Listen then, if you have ears!”
And he also said to them,
“Pay attention to what you hear.
In the measure you give, so shall you receive,
and still more will be given to you.
For to the one who produces something,
more will be given;
and from him who does not produce anything,
even what he has will be taken away from him.”
---- my own,
Many say they see, and they hear, but in fact they do not - they are both blind and deaf, how about you? If you have ears, listen to what I say to you today and keep it in your heart. Reflect on it through the day and understand deeply what I am saying to you so it will transform the way you think, the way you give, the way you live. All that you have is a gift from God for all things belong to Him, the Author, the Creator, and the Finisher of all life. All that is given to you is given as to a steward and must be shared with others. Ask and receive eyes that truly see the needs of others, ears to hear their cries for help, hands outstretched to share what you have been given, feet that seek out the poor, the weary, the sick, the lost. You will be required to give a strict account of your stewardship. Pray that when you stand before Me, you will not be ashamed. Look at the Cross and learn from Me, who was raised high above the earth, stripped of everything that belonged to the world and My life as well, which I gave up freely, embracing your death so you may live. Learn to die to yourself, to your flesh, to your will, to your desires, and wants, and empty yourself for My sake. For whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, my little ones, you do unto Me.
