God is listening.  To embrace the idea of God present at every moment of our lives requires an acknowledgment that something other than us is actually interested in being present in our lives.  We have convinced ourselves of our unworthiness because we measure ourselves by the world’s view.  Given the world operates on fear and lack no one measures up.  If no one measures up, why are we continuing to only hear the voices of the world that remind us we are not enough.  Why not hear the voice of God who says: you are enough because I made you enough?  Why not hear the message of wholeness that comes from the One who created us whole?  Perhaps because God’s voice doesn’t come at us screaming or on a shiny billboard. God is the still small voice that we hear when we quiet down long enough to listen.  The practice of meeting God for my meditation dates in the quiet of each morning allows me the opportunity to hear God before I have let the noise of the world in.  Then as I go through my day I can hear God’s voice or at least remember to stop and listen for it.

My prayer for us is the willingness to develop our hearing in such a way that we are attuned to the still small quiet voice of God and love today.

If God hears you with love and wants you to hear you with love, how could God assist you in being able to quiet the other sounds you are hearing today?  Share in the comments.
