When Jesus shared a complicated spiritual concept, He simplified it by wrapping it in a story. Jesus' stories were about everyday situations His listeners could relate to-wedding banquets, wayward children, vineyards. His stories were simple and clear, and the lessons behind them unforgettable. By tapping into your common experience as a human being, you can communicate from the heart. Then your speaking will be seasoned with a down-to-earth blessing of love. Your words will have more meaning because everyone who listens will know they come from the heart.
