Listen for the Voice of God

As one month ends and another begins, one thought remains perfectly clear. Depending on which newscast, which newspaper provides your information. Is this a recession? A depression? Are we ready for a recovery? One fact remains undisputed. This world needs peace. This world needs food. This world needs hope. This world needs faith. This world need love. As I type these words and I watch the letters appear on my computer screen there is a hint of sadness within me.

The world needs more love instead of the death penalty. Young people need to be taught about friendship. Young people need to be taught about sacrifice and hope. We are all call ed to be holy, all called to be humble obedient servants of God. The world needs more love, not more bullets. The world needs more love, not civil wars.

We need truth, we need love. Our lives as Christians contain a purpose, contain a mission. We are asked to love and serve the Lord. We are asked to sacrifice for love, sacrifice for the Lord.

We are asked to listen to the voice of God, we are asked to listen for the voice of God.

Our Christian lives are a struggle as we try to serve God and try to avoid temptation.

And the love that I speak of is selfless, unconditional, universal. And this love speaks the truth, encourages me to seek truth, to speak truth. And Love reminds us of sun shine at noon and moonlight and mulberry trees; nevertheless true selfless encourages love, encourages earnestness. We seek liberty for all.

As one month ends and another begins I am happy to be alive, happy to be able to think of going to another street fair.

A good life is filled out as needed with humility, charity, and obedience to God. How great it would be to offer praise and thanks to God, to offer love to all those who need love.
