Greetings friends,
God speaks to us in a variety of ways including our own stories, Fredrick Buechner writes, “look back over your lives, for certain themes and patterns and signals that are so easy to miss when you’re caught up in the process of living them. Pause to listen to what has happened to you—for the sound, above all else, of his voice.”
I hear God saying to me lately that He loves me and that my life matters! I also hear him sharing with me how much his heart breaks for the great suffering and pain of humanity. I hear him telling me that I do not need to be afraid and hide or throw up my arms in despair from the powerlessness that I so often feel but instead can join him in His work of healing, comforting and bringing the Life of Jesus in small ways to the person in front of me. What are you hearing???
