Do we understand?

hey y`all. i just got home from May's surprise party, it was a blast. now im incredibly sleepy and i think i may have to babysit up at the church in the morning, so, ima write about my devotion and then im gunna go to sleep haha. okay so i read in Matthew last night. Matthew 13:13-15 says This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. This talks about how people hear and see, but they do not understand what they hear or see. This is why some people do not understand the word of God. They're hearts are calloused and hardened to God, and he cannot get past all those hard layers into the poeples hearts, and they do not hear or see what God is telling them or showing them. we must remember to always keep our eyes open to see what God is doing in our lives and other lives, and keep our ears keen so we can hear about the wonderful works of God and hear his word. We need to dwell in his word and in prayer so that our hearts do not become calloused and keep Jesus out :] This helped me understand why some people just dont get it when you talk to them about God. keep this in mind :]
well i'll talk to y`all tomorrow!
i love you all!
God Bless!
