The little child whispered,

"God, speak to me"

And a meadowlark sang.

But the child did not hear.

So the child yelled,

"God, speak to me!"

And the thunder rolled across the sky

But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,

"God let me see you"

And a star shone brightly

But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted,

"God show me a miracle!"

And a life was born

But the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,

"Touch me God, and let me know you are here!"

Where upon God reached down

touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly away

And walked away unknowingly.

Often times, the things we seek are right

underneath our noses.

Don't miss out on your blessing because it

isn't packaged the way that you expect.

God Is Speaking.. Are You Listening?

There are times we all want God to speak to us. The truth is that God is always speaking to us in different ways. Our problem is that we are not listening. We are too busy, to caught in life, to worried, fearful, concerned.. to see God's hand at work.. to hear His still quiet voice speaking to our heart.

Paul says in Romans 1:19-20, that God is moving in His creation. His hand writes His truth through the wonder of creation.. He speaks through the stars hung in the heavens.. in the beauty and wonder of nature.. He speaks to our soul.. that all men know that there is a God.

Listen.. quiet.. do you hear Him? There in the quiet of your heart.. God is speaking.. won't you stop and listen.
