Listening . . .

. . . Sometimes it seems the hardest thing to do to be quiet enough to hear God speak. And it is a mystery how He gets through to us when He answers our prayers. Hebrews 11:6 promises us that God is the Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
. . . The faith to believe God IS is itself a gift. The insight that God is GOOD is also a gift, because the way we look at things often tries to "see God" where WE expect and how WE "know" He should act. That is His business. But the diligence . . . the persistence . . . the listening, that is my part! I'm willing. And if I somehow am not in synch, or not really willing, by an act of will I say
"I am willing to be made willing!"
". . .No holds barred, no qualification-- Lord, I'm listening! I love YOU!
"Yes!"
