Select One Spiritual Nugget to Inspire Your Day
Listening more closely, the parables become real when rooted in the demands of daily life. The teachings of Jesus offer more than comfort; they call for action and participation. These stories were shaped by hardship and survival, not detached doctrine. Jesus didn’t preach from a distance—he invited involvement. His gestures, wounds, and symbols required attention and response. The only way the story could be made whole and would make wounded listeners whole was by engaging them with deep participation. The story remained incomplete without human engagement. In the parable of the sower, seeds fell in all directions, but only some took root. The good soil didn’t appear by chance; it had to be prepared. The invitation is clear: become the soil, receive the seed, and choose to grow.
May we engage fully, that the story be made whole and our lives made whole in return.
