[:en]Thoughts from Luke 18[:]

[:en]The Parable of the Persistent Widow:

A widow kept coming to the unjust judge to grant her justice.  She finally got justice because of her persistence,

*If you constantly come to our Heavenly Father and present your pleadings, He will meet your needs and fulfill His promise*

The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector:

The Pharisee prayed with pride, but the tax collector prayed in humility.   “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (v. 14)

The Little Children and Jesus:

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” (vs. 14-15)

The Rich Ruler:

“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.  It is easier for a came to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (vs. 24-25)

“What is impossible with men is possible with God” (v. 27)

A Blind beggar Receives His Sight:

The blind man refused to be stopped despite of the rebuke of people.  He seized the opportunity to be healed.

*Call upon Jesus.  He never stops to look and listen.  He is never too busy to hear you.*[:]
