Listen

Listen
 
I hear God in the sounds of life all around me.
Listening connects me to this present moment. When I pay attention to my senses, I ground myself in the things and people that are part of my experience here and now—the voices of my friends and family, the chirping birds, or the melody of a song. I take in the sounds of God expressing all around me.
When I listen in the silence of prayer and meditation, I become more aware of God within me. I focus inward and feel rooted in Spirit. While the information I receive from the external world is valuable, I regularly turn off my outer ears and tune in to what is happening within me. There, in silence, I hear God most clearly.
My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.—John 10:27-28
