You guessed it! Whitewing
are cooing, flowers are blooming and all is peaceful out back…just sitting back
and hearing God’s creation amazes me every time.
Sitting out here always has me thinking about “how”
we hear. Cuz “what” we are hearing is
important, yes… but the “how” determines the “what”, the depth of our hearing.
Guess, as I sit in the calm of our garden, this all really amplifies the
contrast of the world outside our fence. The world is soooo noisy, it is
easy to go thru the day and only hear the clatter and clutter of things. It
becomes “what” we hear and can form a wall that dampens the whispers of God to
our soul.

He is God, He doesn’t have
to yell, He speaks to us in so many unique ways! Nature, literature, people and
places ~ the list is endless ~ He is always speaking to us, no doubt, but can
we hear? Are we listening?
One of my favourite verses
is….
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, as
you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit.
Romans 15:13
Just love this! It was
written by the apostle Paul, yes…but since all Scripture is inspired by God,
then that means that God wrote this, and all the rest, to us! For me, when I
read this word with that in mind, it is like God is saying….
May the
God of Hope (that’s Me, Your Holy Father and Friend, btw)
fill you
with all ( ⇚it all
belongs to Me, so yeah I can do that!)
Joy and
Peace (whatcha get when you hang out with Me)
as you
trust in Him, (you can do that…trust Me, lean on Me, I got this!)
so that
(here comes the good part!)
you may
overflow (no skimping on things for my kids!)
with Hope
( ⇚ that’s
Me!)
by the
power of the Holy Spirit. (You’re not in this life alone, I will never
leave you or forsake you! I will always, always love you…come
on kid, lean in, trust Me)
That’s my prayer for us all
~ that we will learn to lean in and “hear” God speaking His love over our souls.
That each one will seek and find the unique way that God is speaking to us…
Wait…Listen…Do you hear
that? ♥
