Whispers of JOY

Bill Hybels says that many times God whispers to our hearts!  I agree!  He, also, says that  our part of "hearing God" is "having the GUTS to respond"!

In this new year, let's be intent on hearing every whisper of God.  We have to "be still and know" before we can hear His whispers.  But when we learn to really listen, He will lead us on an incredible journey.  My prayer is that you (and I) will always have our ears "tuned" to Him.  May we be so willing to respond that we will push past the fear, the lack of self confidence, the questions of how and why and when and where. May we be so in love with Him that everything else pales in comparison to our relationship with Him.

Let me ask a "personal" question.  What are you doing in your life that will last FOREVER? In other words, what are you doing that will outlive you and all your earthly accomplishments?  Are you serving people?  Unselfishly?  Are you leaving a legacy of love, hope and JOY....due to sharing Christ with others?

As this new year begins, let's pray for one another to be attentive to the whispers of God as He leads us to accomplish HIS purpose for our lives.  If so, then we will be able to look forward to a JOYful eternity!!!!!
