22 "Everything that is now hidden or secret will eventually be brought to light. 
23 Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand! 
24 And be sure to pay attention to what you hear.
     The more you do this, the more you will understand — and even more, besides. 
25 To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given.
     But to those who are not listening, even what they have will be taken away from them."
(NLT)

Everything that is now hidden or secret will eventually be brought to light, it will be made known.
Are you willing to hear? Are you willing to listen? Jesus says here if you are willing to pay attention, if you are willing to truly listen to Him He will give you understanding. You only understand to the level that you listen and reflect on what you heard. The more you pay attention, the more you listen to Jesus -- the more you will understand. How do you do this? You spend time in the Word of God, you meditate on the Word of God, you spend time in prayer to God and you listen to what God has for you to hear. “To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given.” God is ready to give you more understanding, to have a deeper relationship with you but are you ready and willing to do the same? God is not going to do everything for you. You are to be a participant in the relationship. You were not created to sit on the sidelines but to be out in the field playing the game. God is ready. Are you ready? God is ready to bless and prosper your life. Be ready, leave your doubts behind, put your faith in Christ, open your heart to Him and go deep.
