What Soil of Heart are You Toward Gods Word?

Luke 8:11 “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. 14 Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

This is the parable of all parables by Jesus' assessment.  I believe this passage to be the most important one ever given by Jesus to every person living.  There are many important passages that speak to everyone, such as this one does.  Whether you believe or not, Jesus speaks about your heart toward His word.  What I am saying is, if you read this and cant figure out which soil of heart you are right now toward Gods word, your probably comatose.  The truth can sting but we need the truth.  To many "Christians" live lives without a humble heart toward Gods word!  Religions live rejecting Gods word! I would be deceiving myself if I thought my heart was always humble to accept Gods word every time.  These words of Christ are life to me and help get me back to where I need to be as a follower of Christ.  Talk is cheap and action is what is needed.  By Gods grace, if we find our heart choking out Gods word by the cares of this life, we can alter our course.  We cant change our hearts, that's Gods job, but we are to change our minds toward Gods word.
