“Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get.” What this says to me is that if I find that I am irked by someone, it is most likely my own shadow side that I am seeing in that person. For example, if I hear my inner voice complaining, “So-and-so is such a critical person” well wouldn’t that be ironic? Or if I snap loudly at a family member, “Why are you so angry?” what do you think that means? This practice tends to make me laugh at myself if I keep working at it.
What do you think?
Namaste! Amen!

Hebrews 10:19-25
Psalm 24
Mark 4:21-25
21 He said to them, ‘Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand? 22For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. 23Let anyone with ears to hear listen!’ 24And he said to them, ‘Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. 25For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.’
