My “Very Explicit Instructions” Today

“In order for you to hearMe, You must first seek an authentic relationship withMe. Not one based on hearsay, but a relationship built on time spent together.Ilong for more of your time and attention.Ilook forward to revealing the great plansIhave for you; andIam so pleased when you do take the time to seekMyguidance for your life’s journey. It actually saddensMewhen you try to do things in your own power, without seeking to hearMyvoice in a matter first. That is whyImust occasionally blind you. You know, likeIdidPaulon the road to Damascus (Acts 9). When you are blind and can’t see your way, it makes you stop and look forMe. It makes you question whoI amto you. Then you become a lot more receptive to whatIhave to say. And of course, that’s howIdesigned it, when one sense is dulled (sight), another sense is strengthened (hearing)”.

“You also know that I have designed listening as part of the communication process. When you listen to someone, you get to know them better. You learn how they think and what makes them tick. You learn what you have in common and what ways you differ. Do you honestly think that I would design this process and not have you experience it with Me, your Creator? When you listen to Me, you learn how I think. You learn how I do things and you better understand that My ways are not your ways”.

“Keep seeking opportunities of conversation with Me. There is no relationship without conversation. And remember, you can’t get to know Me if you’re doing all the talking. Keep following Me and I will teach you how to listen and how to hear My explicit instructions for your life”.
