Talks.” In those moments, I have to fight for my time alone with
God or those minutes will quickly vanish, only to be consumed
by some urgent interruption.
I’ve learned to recognize when God talks to me. And if I
listen intentionally for Him, I’ll hear almost a whisper, then a
more distinct impression that draws me toward Him, until I am
certain it is God talking. It is always at that juncture that I must
make a decision with all of my heart, body, soul, and mind to
believe it is His voice and not my thoughts that I am hearing.
When I let my faith respond to the sound of God’s voice, I get
“fired up” and “filled up,” empowered and courageous and
committed to leave our two-way conversations, ready to
change the world.
I just know that if you really believe God wants to talk to
you, that He holds in His heart all the answers to your
questions, that He is always as close as your thoughts, that He
loves you just the way you are, that He waits for you to wake
up in the morning—you will not only hear Him, but find Him to
be your greatest source of strength and encouragement. For
these reasons and many more, I have written Let God Talk to
You.
