Riddles?

This morning I was reading the Parable of the Soil....
again....     
and the disciples ask Jesus why He teaches in parables (riddles)  
and He says so that 'they' won't get it...  
'But to you the secrets of the Kingdom is given....'   

Wait a second.       
Jesus came to save everyone.
What is He doing?
That's not 'fair'.....
Is it?
...It certainly confused the disciples.....

then He said,
'Don't you understand this riddle (parable)?
How then will you understand any riddle about the Kingdom (Parable)?

and then he unwraps the 'riddle'.
Hard hearts
Rocky hearts
Weedy hearts
Fertile hearts

Read about it in Mark 4:1-20

I think....
The Secret to the Riddle... the Parable...
is IN the parable.

If I have a hard, rocky, weedy heart
I won't get it
or I might 'get it' for a bit
but then I will lose it or it will just ge choked
and there will be no kingdom fruit.

If I want to 'Get' the riddles of Heaven
It starts with a heart ready to hear
a heart ready to change
a heart ready to disregard the worries of the world
and focus in on the Kingdom.
...fertile soil...

Leaving behind 'stuff'
pointing...
moving towards.... Jesus.

Lord,
Your ways seem shocking
even 'unfair'....

Yet it is all about my heart
attitude of
Pride...
or
Humility.
and You reveal
or not
based on my 'posture'....
Pharisees didn't 'get it'
'sinners' did....

I choose You
and Your Kingdom
In my life
my 'soil'
Today.

Jesus.
