“Child, can you see My face? See it there…in the trees, in the flowers, in the plants, in the birds, in the fish, in the animals, and in the people you love and who love you. See it in the stars, the planets, the air you breathe, the rivers and lakes and oceans, the sand by the seashore, even in the dirt between your fingers as you plant pretty flowers. See it in the life-giving seeds, the bulbs, the leaves, the fruit and vegetables you eat, the crystal-clear water you drink. See Me there, because that is where I am. I am all around you, although you can’t see Me. But you can know Me, because I make up all that is real and all that is beautiful. I move and I breathe in everything you know and love. I am in all the things that bring you peace and joy. That is who I am. That is where I am. And anyone who searches for truth, who seeks true love, who wants real meaning, or the ability to explore and fathom inexhaustible wisdom, can find me. I love you.”

“My Son taught with parables to fulfill the prophecy in Psalm 78:2—that He would give instruction by examples to reveal truths that were hidden since the world began. Why were these truths hidden? Because the god of this world had deceived Adam and Eve and many who followed, and he had obscured what I originally made known to them. Why would only some people understand Jesus’s parables? Because the stories distinguished a difference between light and darkness, and their meaning would always be hidden to those who dwell in darkness. But to those with “ears to hear,” they could be understood and discerned. Secrets and mysteries are imbedded in His examples from life. And only some would ever comprehend their true meaning. Like His disciples, these are those who want to understand and bear good fruit. Four reactions always result from hearing My Word: Some immediately reject the truth they hear, allowing it to be stolen from them. Others receive the truth, but quickly turn away from it when they experience life’s pressures. Some hear My Word, receive it for a while, but are drawn away from it by the cares of the world, which include wealth, recognition, and power, which choke out any belief in Me. Finally, those who grasp its meaning, love what it represents, and yearn to learn more are the good seed that yield spiritual abundance—in their own lives and others’. They are the “good wheat” sown in a field that will be gathered at the end harvest and given places of honor and favor. Those who are the good seed are often considered the least and lowliest of people in this world. Like the mustard seed, their capabilities and what lies within them are often overlooked. But, like the mustard plant’s very tiny and insignificant beginning, they can grow into large, magnificent trees that protect and harbor many others. Never underestimate what I can do for and through you. People may disqualify you because of your beliefs and Who you represent, just as they did My Son. Just remember, I am training you for a greater purpose. I want you to be able to understand My hidden truths, so that you can enjoy greater treasures later, and so that you will have a seat of honor in My Kingdom!”
