Are you listening?


For the record: you will see many entries addressed to the Father/Lord... What he does through me, he does to me first:)
I don't know the number of my days but I know I want to LIVE them ALL.
It's summer time, I see many young people sitting around, watching TV, playing video games, Texting, Tweeting, following someone or something. To a parent these acts seem like a waste of time and life. And yet, historically many have past time in similar ways. Sometimes families just sat around a fire, sat on a porch, read the paper, listen to the radio, took a walk...simple pleasures. There is so much pressure to be doing something, doing nothing is consider unproductive. We put pressure on our children and we put pressure on ourselves and we wonder why we are so stressed out. Many of the dis-eases that affect our body can be traced to our busyness.

After all, we are to be producing, building, engaging...doing something...THERE MUST BE A BALANCE! We cannot get so busy that the GIVER OF LIFE is hidden from our view. Because when we see Him, when we know that all that we are is found in Him, when we know that everything good and perfect comes from Him. There is a stillness, a quietness within our heart that makes us anxious for nothing. To be still for many is to think on things that torment, many cannot be alone with their own thoughts they run to and fro busy hiding from the inner lies within. What if we listen for the Lord's voice and replace the lies with the truth and know that we can TRUST HIM AND TRULY LIVE!

ARE YOU LISTENING?

John 10:27
