Ears To Hear # 78

A PARABLE

         The dictionary defines a parable as a short simple story intended to illustrate a moral or religious lesson. I was not able to share with you yesterday the revelations I received about parables.
         The main thing I learned is that Jesus used them to speak to people who do not presently have spiritual ears and understanding. When we become desperate for those we love to hear what we are hearing, we may resort to sharing a parable or drawing them a picture.

EXAMPLE OF A LOVE PARABLE

         Once there was a couple so very much in love. The man thought the woman would meet all his needs and she thought he would meet all of hers.
         Although they became one in their love for each other, they each had a common enemy. This enemy was Satan who comes to rob, steal, and destroy anything holy, beautiful, and ordered by God.
         You could easily call his name “Enmity”…one who comes between or separates. The dictionary says it is extreme ill will or hatred that exists between enemies.
         The ‘spirit of enmity’ began to tell them lies about each other’s motives. With each disappointment in life, they blamed the one they thought should meet all their needs.
         One day they recognized “Enmity” for who he was and agreed to fight him together. They were made aware that the language of the world had confused them, but agreed that God’s language…made perfect sense.
         Soon the harsh words ceased as did the pain in their hearts. They could see clearly now. They were re-united…back on the same team.  And their family was restored.

Love conquers all.       God is Love!
The End.

 LOVE WAS RESTORED….
And

THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

         Well, isn’t that the way all good love stories are suppose to end? The most important thing is that they learned how to live happy.
