Q-Tips Anyone?

This was my facebook stat today . . .

　
I have finally heard the voice of God. It was as gentle as a father's loving voice could be. It was in all the little things happening in my life. The whispers of God.

　
Now let me explain…..
　
For weeks and weeks now I have been questioning myself on hearing from God. The questions just continued to run through my head. Day in and day out….the same questions….over and over.

What does it sound like?
Will I even hear it?
Am I not listening hard enough?
Am I listening to hard?
What if I missed it?

OVER AND OVER!!!!

And then it happened….

I finally focused my whole self on HIM….and HIS voice spoke. So softly….He spoke to me. His words as tender as words could be. His message behind his words stronger than I could imagine.

His gentle whisper….spoke life into me.

How could I have missed this all this time? It was so simple. And yet I made it so hard. All it took was for me to focus my eyes upon Him….and He spoke.

His voice did not come booming down from the heavens.

No prophet contacted me to tell me what God had to say.

He did not put His message for me on a big, flashy billboard.

It was right there the whole time. Right in front of my face. I was so busy looking for it…that I did not take the time to listen.

His voice was in the everyday moments of my life. Right there in the middle of it all.

In the sermons that I heard.

In the words that I read in the Bible.

In the voices of my friends.

In the voices of my children.

In the voices of strangers.

When I finally recognized His voice….my life changed in an instant.

My world no longer looked the same.

It was a total fresh outlook on life.

He knows my name…He loves me….And He speaks to me.

WOW….now that’s something to shout about!!

My Lord cares enough about me to not only pay the price for my sins….but to keep on caring and loving me enough to speak to me.

Out of all the people in this world…He took the time to speak to me. He made the way for me to listen. He opened my eyes and my ears to see and hear Him.

My Lord is AWESOME!!!

Is the Lord trying to speak to you today?

Are you trying to listen to hard?

Is your focus off?

When you finally recognize His voice….you will understand the meaning behind….“His voice is a gentle whisper.”

You will understand the meaning of “Be still and know that I am God.”

I’ve always known that He was there. I KNOW THAT!!

But now that I have heard His voice….I feel so much closer to the Lord. I feel….like I am sitting right at His feet. And there is no place that I would rather be!!


Love You All!!
