Can You Hear God?
How do you know what you are meant to do or meant to be? I know you are supposed to be still and quiet and listen for God. I believe that the positive voice I hear in my head is God. He loves me and wants the best for me.
Problem is, sometimes I have trouble being still and quiet to hear him. Worse yet, the other doubting voices in my head sometimes drown out God's voice. I know that shouldn't happen but it does. Even with the successes and good things that have happened in my life my negative life experiences seem to outweigh all and slow me down.
God has been speaking to me, loudly, but I am still having trouble making out exactly what he is saying. I hear him saying "I am your Father. I am here for you and you are here for a great purpose that will benefit many people." But I am having trouble decifering what he is telling me beyond that.
Maybe he is not telling me and he is leaving it to me to discover what purpose he has for me. Is it that I am not still enough or quiet enough? Or maybe I am not showing enough stewardship over what he has given me for him to reveal my purpose.
I do believe him when he tells me that I am here to be great and here for a great purpose. I am professing here, to you reader, my belief in what he is telling me. This is an enormous step for me for even though I have done great things I have often attributed it to luck, happenstance and being in the right place at the right time. Instead, it has been with the help and blessing of God that I (we) have accomplished those things.
I am starting to understand that I am protected by him and his shield is strengthened by my faith. Repeatedly in my life I have let this shield be weakened by a lack of faith in both myself and my God.
I am searching for what exactly my mission is but in the meanwhile I am preparing myself. The world and my community in particular are in disarray and in need of many things. I can only have faith that I will be able to help the world in some way.
That's All I Got!
I'm Out!
