The parables of Jesus show that he understands you, can help you understand yourself, and help you understand God.
Our heart condition affects our relationship with God a lot. If we don’t understand ourselves, we will misunderstand God.
Growing more aware of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly — increases the intimacy in our relationship with God and others
When understood and taken to God, emotions create an intimate relationship with God and friends like no other.
