Are You Listening....

I am in gratitude for the awareness not to be held hostage by the expectations of an unsympathetic and unknowing world around me. They do not live in my shoes. I choose to answer to the authoritative voice that speaks to me through intuitive guidance instead. I call this the Holy Spirit... some may just call it Spirit... others may label it as intuition. The truth is we have an inner voice that directs us if we choose to listen and respond to it. Often we "hear" it but don't actually "listen" to what is being said. How about you? Do you go through life only "hearing" and never really listening.... to that inner voice.... to the people around you that are there by Divine appointment? Can I encourage you today to stop, be quiet and listen to both the Spirit within you and those God has purposely surrounded you with to minister love, grace, kindness, wisdom and direction?
