When God whispers your name, what do you hear? I've been pondering that question. What is He speaking into my soul lately? I've been struggling to find the time to write. To some degree I find it therapeutic. But time just seems to get the best of me and I say, "maybe tomorrow." I remember a woman who for a short time was a mentor to me. She probably didn't know it because we never met formally. We would have only a few conversations. But in those few conversations, I learned a lot. She would often say, "I don't want to miss what God is saying to me." I've thought about that a lot over the last few years. I've asked myself the same thing. In the past few weeks, I've sensed the spirit flowing over my life and my words when I'm sharing what God has been teaching me with others. Theres nothing more exciting than to feel that fresh spirit of God flowing and speaking new life into your soul. I think that's what happens when God whispers your name. His spirit flows and pours new life into your empty, parched soul. When we take those broken steps and listen to His whispers we find new life. When we are reaching out to broken people and listening in on their stories, we begin to heal and new life forms in us. He leads you to places and uses your story of brokenness to help others in their own struggles and pain. It's in those places you become filled with the blessings and goodness that God offers. As we mentor and share our lives with others, it's mostly about listening. A listening ear can be the best gift you give someone. Just pay attention to what God is whispering in those moments. It can be life giving and amazement will come when you give yourself away. When God whispers your name, He will direct your path!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
