listening...

listen to the silence...it is filled with wisdom...listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit within...first whispering...then growing louder as you turn your heart to hear...starting from the beginning, leaving no stone unturned He comes...bearing complete answers...filling in the gaps left by unanswered questions...telling you things that you do and do not want to hear...words of comfort and correction...after all...the truth is a double-edged sword...it doesn't play favorites...

listen...listen for God...with no preconceived notions...just listen...unconditionally...with no guidelines...for when you seek to hear His voice above all other things...He comes bearing all that you were seeking...allow God to reveal the secret motives of the heart...let Him disclose the purpose of the suffering...if you truly listen...you will be able to celebrate the pain...celebrate it...plant it and nurture it in ground now fertile from suffering and watered by your tears...

plant it...let it rest and reap the fuit...reap it and then share it with others...that they might be healed...rehearse what you have heard and spread it abroad...let your trial be a tool of healing for others..and in the healing...be healed...
