"Open up before God, keep nothing back; He'll do whatever needs to be done." Psalm 37:5 - The Message
We live in a noisy world. We are yelled at, promoted, called. Everyone has an urgent message for us. we are surrounded with noise; telephone, radio, television, stereo. Messages re amplified deafeningly. The world is a mob in which everyone is talking at once and no one is willing or able to listen. But God listens. He not only speaks to us, He listens to us. His listening to us is an even greater marvel than His speaking to us. It is rare to find anyone who listens carefully and thoroughly . . .
WHen it happens we know that what we say and feel are immensely important. We acquire dignity. We never know how well we think or speak until we find someone who listens. - Reversed Thunder
