Matthew 13:47-53
Jesus said to the disciples: "The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
"Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes." And he replied, "Then every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old." When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for a restoration of the dignity of marriage between a man and a woman.
What we hold onto can be toxic. What fisherman would keep a fish he knew was full of toxins? What fisherman would keep a fish he thought may taste like petroleum?
Looking back at my life, there were times when I was swimming the harbor near all the boats. Looking back at my life, there were times when I was full of toxins because of what I couldn't let go. Thankfully, The Lord knew that if I stuck around those areas for too long, I would have gotten lost in it. In His mercy, He chastises us so that we can be ready for heaven.
Be careful of where you swim and what you let in (or don't let out). Take care and God Bless.
