I believe that to be a very important observation. I think that all of us can fall prey to life's distractions which drown out the whispers of the Spirit and also the pure devotion that we are called to have for God. <br />Thanks for visiting :)<br />~blessingsJessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-75603068160350909162011-03-06T17:00:42.032-08:002011-03-06T17:00:42.032-08:00I was reminded about Matthew 13:22, when Jesus tal...I was reminded about Matthew 13:22, when Jesus talks about seed falling among the thorns that refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke that very word, making it unfruitful. Normally this passage is used to describe people coming to Jesus Christ but after meditating on this post I realized that it can mean that I can miss what God is telling me if I am too caught up in life to hear God's daily word to me. ~Thank you!Bill Melihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299278518794588994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-83004895194836675382011-03-06T10:08:11.117-08:002011-03-06T10:08:11.117-08:00Kriti, thanks for our thoughts, I look forward to ...Kriti, thanks for our thoughts, I look forward to reading your post :)<br />~blessingsJessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-48959437084157769732011-03-06T10:07:44.023-08:002011-03-06T10:07:44.023-08:00Andrea,

Some fell on good soil (purity of heart), others on stony ground (on hard and unforgiving hearts) … some among the weeds (hearts preoccupied with the cares of the world). <br /><br />Jessica, these thoughts and meditations... may they always fall on fertile ground here.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-89755753174270264642011-03-04T20:32:22.087-08:002011-03-04T20:32:22.087-08:00As always you penned a nice post, the words certai...As always you penned a nice post, the words certainly get me to evaluate my relationship with God.
