Listening…

I’ve always had a hard time listening. When my justice thread (sense of right and wrong) gets tweaked, it seems to close my ears far too often and at the same time unhinges my unfiltered mouth. The result is not good. Seems I have the hardest time hearing the ones I love the most. Damn. So, friend, listen up. God communicates with us through His creation, His Spirit, and His creatures (our fellow humans). When things aren’t going according to plan, maybe we need to really listen up!

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” C.S. Lewis taken from The Problem with Pain.

God, help me tune into your signal; the worlds, not so much. God, help me.

Live hard. Love harder…
