Listen With Your Heart

What are you listening for in this life?

-Are you listening for the latest lottery numbers to be announced or are you listening for the sweet songs of the birds in the morning?

-Are you listening for the newest gossip people are saying or are you listening for the happy sound of your children’s laughter?

-Are you listening for the shouting voices of anger and hatred in this world that try to fill our ears and hearts with their poison?

-Or are you listening for the gentle voice of God whispering to you: "I love you My Child. Come work with Me and we will shower the world with love and joy together." 

Either way what you listen for is what you will hear. Open your ears, mind, heart, and soul then listen with them for all this world’s joys. Listen with them for the loving voice of God within you. Listen with them and delight in the glorious music that is life. It could be the sound of a baby's first cry or the wind blowing thru the autumn leaves. It could be the voice a phone line of a long forgotten friend or the first words spoken by a child.

What you listen for is what you will hear. Hear with peace in your heart and you will receive peace in your life.
