Who can paint the song of a bird? Of what shape are whispers in the ear? What color are promises? You can't photograph the spoken thought. It must be heard in the heart. Words spoken must be embraced in the mind and spirit - there they are treasured and can last a lifetime.
Listening can humble you, because at times it will make you feel blind. How many times have we prayed "Lord speak to me.." and without even opening our ears we begin looking for a sign. It's harder to believe what someone says, than to believe what we see with our eyes. But that is what the Lord has called us to do.
{We live by faith, not by sight.}
The next time my eyes crave something to see- I must remember the things that I touch and see are temporary; but the Word of God stands forever. It will be a discipline at first, naturally. But it takes nothing but a mustard seed of faith, a little bit of hope and a little bit of a courage.
Oh Lord, I fix my eyes and eyes of my heart on YOU!
You deserve it.
You want it.
