1
And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
13
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14
The sower soweth the word.
15
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
33
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
35
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Dear Todd , firstly don't despair , God doesn't stop loving us when we mess up , He knew you before you were born and He knew you would get into trouble sometimes , that's why He gave us Jesus . You don't say if your partner is also a Christian . If you are both totally sure that your relationship is definately over you should probably go your separate ways as quickly as possible . You both need time and space to rebuild your relationship with God , admit your faults to Him and ask for forgiveness , pray often read your Bible often and get yourself back on track in your relationship with Him . He is very loving and forgiving . If you are still in love with your partner and she with you then perhaps you can work on your relationship but not live together , God should be both of your priorities . Get back to Him before trying to get back to each other . Do not despair God loves you , that will never change . Try to stay calm and treat each other with respect and honesty , space and time apart from each other and with your Heavenly Father should help you both see things more clearly . Trust in Him .

I have so many questions on mark 4 today I seen God earnestly followed him thru traffic and forgot that he comes in many forms I missed him because I thought the friend I was with was on the wrong path and had I known to truly seek him without distraction I we would have met him and perhaps got our fill of our measure due to us now I let the devil in with my misunderstandings of his word and my partners misunderstandings of her role in the search I have tried to be pure of heart and be kind and forgiving yet always put to the test and forgetting what I had learned from my last spiritual awakening she I think expected a different path or a bolt of lightninhg

I expected her to be on the same page we both failed her sin was greed I knew I had the special tool to receive his word she wanted it all and took it from me that put us apart it's more than being together we could have been on separate beds and yet together but it wasn't working greed brought us both to lust then the father of all lies spoken lies that I could only respond with anger now my friends think I'm a nut my partner even crazier and everyone in my circle hates me and we all missed our word I said some aweful mean things and repeated things I should have kept to myself and this girl who I would have givin my life for has need of an excorsist it's all messed up I had resisted lust up to a point but satan persisted in us both now my special tool is gone and so is our friendship hope faith and there's no more love and it makes me sad and I've been now overlooked and so has she what can we expect now now from what mete shall I be took from I can't help but to feel despaired and lonely and empty I haven't talked to her but I know she feels the same what can we do now? The devil clouded me until 1:11 am then I remembered mark 4 omg I feel so sick looking to free myself from this pollution I feel now I missed it and I'm gonna die alone I'm afraid I will be stuck here eternally to re dieoverandove
