Are We Truly Seeing and Hearing? 🤓
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” – Matthew 13:14
We live in a world full of noise, news, opinions, social media, entertainment, and personal struggles. Everyone is talking, but the question is how many are truly listening? Everyone is looking, but how many truly see?
This verse in the Bible, speaks to something deeper than just hearing words or seeing facts. It’s about the condition of our hearts. When we constantly reject truth, whether spiritual, moral, or even factual, our hearts grow calloused. Over time, we become so accustomed to distractions and false narratives that we can no longer recognize truth, even when it’s right in front of us, even when the prove is undeniably.
We see this everywhere today. People reject facts because they don’t fit their narrative, or fill out their pockets, ignore injustices because they’re inconvenient or don’t affect them directly. We chase meaningless distractions instead of addressing what truly matters, doing the minimal effort, watching a fun tv show, and again avoiding reality. In doing so, we lose sight of what could actually heal us, ignoring the rest of the world and their pain disconnect us all from our propose, values, from love and finally from Jesus.
The choice is always ours. Will we remain blind and deaf, or will we open our eyes, our ears, and our hearts to truth? Let’s be intentional about seeking truth over comfort and convenience, wisdom over noise and distractions, and healing over ignorance and selfishess.
