God has chosen to take up residence in the human heart. The parables of Jesus give us a clear picture of the kind of life he wants to build in us. It's a better life than anything we can build on our own.
Showing > Telling.
A PARABLE is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.
Mark 4:34 NLT
Matthew 20:1-7 NLT

The more gratitude we have, the less entitlement we'll have.
