Please ExplainSample

Sometimes I do this thing when someone is telling me a story. I get so into it that I forget to respond. Like when they stop talking, I sort of look at them, like I'm watching a YouTube video, while they wait for me to say something — anything. Yeah, it's weird. I don't recommend it because people usually want a response when they say things to you. Not blank stares and you know what? God's no different! Jesus once told this story about God's words being like seeds and people being like different kinds of soil. Some people are fertile soil where God's words take root and begin to grow, while others are more like gravel roads, where the seeds never get a chance to grow. Jesus' point is that when God speaks, we have an opportunity to do something about what God has said. Will we let those words take root and change us . . . or not? It's up to you. But God's words invite a response.
