The problem is not hearing

it is not letting it in

There is something Jesus said that crosses time, and it is still happening today.

It is not about a lack of teaching.
It is not about a lack of access.
It is not about a lack of information.

It is something deeper.

“Though you are always hearing, you will never understand;
though you are always seeing, you will never perceive.
For this people's heart has become insensitive;
they hear with their ears with reluctance,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise,
they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart
and turn,
and I would heal them.”(Matthew 13:14–15)

The problem is never hearing.

It is not letting it in.

It is seeing... and not wanting to perceive.
It is hearing... and not wanting to go all the way.

Not because of inability.
But because of resistance.

This is how the heart becomes insensitive:
little by little,
in small refusals,
in almost imperceptible delays.

Until hearing no longer touches.
And seeing no longer reveals.

But the text itself holds something precious.

Almost silent.
Almost hidden.

“Otherwise...
I would heal them.”

The end is not hardening.

It is healing.

And that healing is not far away.

It is in the same place where the voice is heard.

In today.

Today, if you hear...
do not harden your heart.

Because, if the heart opens,
healing begins there.

There are those who are resisting to the end.
And there are those who are staying open to the end.
