As I have thought more about why the Savior taught in parables, I have a better understanding about why He did. One reason was because parables are pretty simple to understand but they also leave room for personal interpretation and revelation. I know that when the spirit speaks to me it is sometimes in my own voice. Heavenly Father knows and loves me. He wants me to understand His message to me. I know that the Savior feels the same way. As I open my heart to learn of Him I will be blessed with inspiration and guidance. We have so much to be thankful for as children of a loving father in heaven.
