An Invitation to a deeper relationship!!

Gospel of Mark 4:21-25

Jesus said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand? For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. Let anyone with ears to hear listen!" And he said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away."

 

"Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand?

Here Jesus is making us aware that the knowledge and knowing we receive MUST be used. If we know that we are meant to be special… then we must ACKNOWLEDGE that through practicing that in our lives!! If the knowledge of the “BIG PICTURE” of our lives has been revealed to us, we MUST LIVE the BIG PICTURE life.

For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. Let anyone with ears to hear listen!"

We often believe that there is SO mystery about life and we’re always LOOKING for something or the other. When the truth, as Jesus begins to reveal it, is really that we’re not ALLOWING ourselves to be aware enough to pick up the clues of KNOWING. He encourages us to LISTEN to our INNER KNOWING and FOLLOW through with the commands that come from within. Important to remember, that STILLNESS has been recommended through the ages with a DIVINE purpose, when we learn to connect with the deepest part of who we REALLY REALLY ARE. Created in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of GOD with special a special PURPOSE!!

"Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away."

The depth of this powerful message is revealed in the last paragraph of the parable, in which Jesus draws our attention to Consciously LISTENING to the guidance of our inner knowing without blindly following our outer KNOWING. For those who CHOOSE to LISTEN and FOLLOW THROUGH, will have the power to harness the DIVINE gift of KNOWING and continue to receive guidance and will continue to receive the grace to understand the deeper and more profound truth of the BIG PICTURE of creation. And those of us who choose to live OBLIVIOUS of this KNOWING, even that which we were gifted with by birth will soon become redundant.

May the message of KNOWING fill you with a greater pride that you may continue to receive a deeper understanding of the word of God, revealed through Jesus. A BIG PICTURE view of CREATION, created with YOU as the CENTRE.

ALL ELSE, is but a CHOICE you make!!!
