The funny thing about all the buzzes and the noises around us all the time is they know how to prompt us into action.  The devices and noises of the world are calling us to pay attention.  It takes focus and concentration to choose to answer what is calling our hearts.  God speaks into our hearts with a whisper.  God’s calling is more gentle than our phones or alarm clocks.  The calling comes from within our own hearts. Our life force lives in our hearts.  Many years I felt like I was constantly calling on God and receiving no answer.  I kept looking for God to show up in big grand ways. Where were the miracles?  Where was the joy?  What happened to all those powerful healing actions that Jesus’ performed?  How come those were not answers I got when I called on God?  For me, it was not until I quieted down and listened for God calling me that a shift occurred.  I had to let go of my ideas and expectations of God calling.  Continually I find that when I feel disconnected from God it is because I stopped listening for the calling coming from my heart.  When I pause, take a deep breath, and draw attention to my heart I able to get centered again.  When I am centered I can let the outside callings drop away.  When it is quieter I can hear the calling of God in my heart.  Then and only then I am open to experiencing it as it is and not as I expect it to be.
