“He who has ears, let him hear.” Matthew 13:9 ESV1
Read Matthew 13:10-17, Mark 4:9-13 & Luke 8:9-10
When you explain something to someone and he/she responds, “I see,” you know that person comprehends. When you share something from your heart and another says, “I hear you,” you feel understood. To see means more than having eyes that can visually discern something. To hear means more than perceiving with one’s ears a sound which is being made. When another seeks to understand or makes an effort to give us his/her full attention, we feel honored, appreciated, even loved. Eagerness to be understood isn’t a longing merely of humans; it is also a desire of the Divine.
