What Listening Means To Me
When I speak of listening for the Voice of God within, I mean more than listening for what He may be saying to me. I am also listening for His voice in the people I meet.
I believe God speaks within every person, even when they haven't yet learned to recognize Him. Sometimes something in another person's words, silence, expression, or presence draws my attention. I understand that quiet awareness as the Spirit of God showing me that this person may need something I can give.
It may be nothing more than a smile or a warm greeting. It may mean slowing down long enough to listen or allowing a conversation to go where it needs to go. I don't always know why the moment matters. I only need to remain open and respond.
This doesn't mean that every passing thought is God's voice. It means living prayerfully aware—close enough to hear His direction within me and present enough to recognize where He may want to use me.
