Tangles and Knots

     I think most everyone would like a touch of wisdom.  However, true wisdom comes from knowing God and His Word.  Jesus was constantly "expounding all things to his disciples" through His stories.  As The Message put it, "When He was alone with His disciples, he went over everything sorting out the tangles, untying the knots." 

     In life, we all need to put some effort into "sorting out the tangles and untying the knots" to get to the real truth.  It is a sorrowful life if our eyes are always open but we don't see  a thing, or if our ears are open and we don't understand a word, or if we constantly turn away from the truth because it is not what we want to hear, and it is not being said by someone we want it said by or in the way we want it said.

     We need to listen by seeing because, too often, we hear the words but don't see the follow-up in action and deed.   Our hearts and minds need to be open for truth and, I believe, this starts with love for ourselves, for others, and for our country.   Lets all pray for one another, from the least to the greatest, in every nation and in every color.    

1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."
