The Parable of the Sower teaches us how to grow in the self-awareness necessary to be close to God and others.
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
The condition of your faith and heart will determine whether you enter the presence of God or the realm of religiosity.
Without God giving us the strength to keep pushing through, we will become discouraged and fail under pressure.
