God Speaks…

Always a hard lesson for me, is watching my tongue. In my younger years, gossip was an allure for me. But the allure up front, becomes a weight in the end. Maybe it was the boredom or dissatisfaction with my own life, that drew me to the dramatic. More often though, I felt invisible and just wanted to be seen and heard.

Wisdom comes with age, and with befriending God.

In my later years, though I hate to admit I’m here, gossip is a sharp knife that I avoid. Not easy when in a community… My draw today? God’s words! Fascination with God speaking, how He speaks, and what He says!

Recently, a gal blurted to me… God doesn’t talk! Hmmm… true in the sense that I’ve never heard the actual voice of God. Not true in the sense that I have a book of God’s sayings, prophetic words of people who I believe do sense God’s words, and Spirit within that brings me a direct sense of God.

Admittedly, none of these are just an easy comprehension that God is talking to me. I’ve analyzed and muddled, yet all this is beyond my intellect… yet my intellect is calm in belief. How does an invisible creator speak to the creation? Why the challenge in it? Why not just be direct and clear? It is all fascinating, yet perplexing.

Yesterday, I started a fresh quest to listen… to people… to God. A deeper listening, a deeper understanding of the speaker. If it is truly possible for us humans to hear God, then I want to hear. And now I correct myself already… not if… I’m God’s image… I’m God’s beloved… and in that drawing close of love, I do believe that God communicates.

So now may I listen… and recognize… may the ears to my being be alert and open… may my eyes scan and see… may my being comprehend…

And yesterday, what did I hear? Step by step…

…I’m Listening
