I Will Speak To Their Hearts

The gift of "hearing" God's Voice has been a true blessing. When I asked God a few years ago why everyone can't hear from Him, His reply was a pleasant surprise: Everyone can hear My Voice, but not everyone listens. I speak to all people but in different ways. In the past few months, I have had many "visions" of Jesus weeping as He looks over Jerusalem. I've sensed that His sadness stems from His awareness of how distracted people are by the world today. This past summer, while in quiet prayer, the Holy Spirit said to me You get them quiet, and I will speak to their hearts. I recently came across a quote by Soren Kierkegaard that says it all so well: "As my prayer became more attentive and inward I had less and less to say. I finally became completely silent. I started to listen -- which is even further removed from speaking. I first thought that praying entailed speaking. I then learnt that praying is hearing, not merely being silent. This is how it is, to pray does not mean to listen to oneself speaking. Prayer involves becoming silent, and being silent, and waiting until God is heard." May we quiet our minds and surroundings so that we can be more attentive to what God is speaking to our hearts today.
