Matthew Chapter Thirteen.

Friend, I need you to read this chapter in its entirety. I love when Holy Spirit provides me with fresh revelation on scriptures that I’ve read in the past. I’m going to keep this reflection short and sweet because it is my prayer that you will experience revelation as you read it for yourself. I want to encourage you to ensure the seeds (God’s words) being thrown out to you are planted into your heart and produce harvest (a life multiplied by God). I want to encourage you to be the wheat and not the weed. Do not allow the enemy to convince you that living a life of sin is worth dying and going to hell for. Instead, realize that only living a life led by God ensures that you will see the Kingdom of Heaven. Lastly, I want to encourage you to address and allow Jesus to heal your heart from rejection that you’ve experienced from your family, friends, and your hometown. We read in verses 54 through 58 that Jesus returned to His hometown of Nazareth. The people were amazed by His teachings and miracles, but ultimately, they were offended and rejected Him due to “knowing His family”. Instead of Jesus attempting to convince them of His worth (like we do at times), He performed less miracles because they didn’t believe in Him. If people don’t believe in you, your calling, your Godly lifestyle, don’t attempt to prove yourself to them. Do as Jesus did!
