Luke 8:16-18

"No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Those who have will be given more; as for those who do not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them."
(Luke 8:16-18)

I think this passage is really interesting because Jesus is telling me that there is nothing that can be hidden. Therefore, the Gospel will always be revealed. Everyone will hear it somehow. However, the outcome of what you hear is different. You can either accept it and live by it or you could reject it.
Jesus tells us that if we do listen to His Gospel He will give us more. I want to live by His Gospel. I want Him to give me more of the Holy Spirit. I want to walk by the Spirit everyday! I'm going to try to listen to God more and seek Him more desperately.

Those who don't live by Him will have everything taken away. This is so true! This is because those who don't live by Him probably thing that they have everything right now. However, when judgement day comes or when death approaches, they will realize that they have nothing at all.
