In Pensées, Blaise Pascal said, “the heart has its reasons which reason knows not.”

Healthy love relationships work in ways that we must yield to, rather than attempt to change.

After we yield to the ways of love, we still need to learn them.

 

So much that we miss in life has to do with our hearts not being available to be “touched”:

  • We are often not present enough in heart to be receptive to change or admit need for change. 
  • The vulnerability that moves us to yield to help is mostly associated with negative rather than positive outcomes. 
  • Jesus, however, clearly supports us yielding our hearts so that we can be a part of a yield or bountiful harvest. 
  • Having the vulnerability to change and grow can create an opportunity for great benefits. 
  •  

    In Matthew 13, Jesus shared the story of the “Parable of the Sower” that speaks to us about the power of yielding or being vulnerable, which produces benefits. All relationships of consequence can benefit greatly from our willingness to face, feel, and deal with our hearts so that we can give and receive the love we need and others need. 

     

    Jesus also shared the “Parable of the Sower.”

    “Then he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.’”

    “The disciples came to him and asked, ‘Why do you speak to the people in parables?’”

     “He replied, ‘Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables:’”
