He Listens

I love God because he listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy. He listened so intently as I laid out my case before him. Death stared me in the face, hell was hard on my heels. Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn; then I called out to God for help: "Please, God!" I cried out. "Save my life!" God is gracious—it is he who makes things right, our most compassionate God. God takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me. Psalm 116:1-6



Did you know Jesus hears you and He actually cares about what you have to say? He loves to visit with you. He never interrupts (well sometimes)and He never assumes you are saying one thing when you really mean something else. He knows exactly what you are saying and why you are saying it.

He is patient and understanding, and compassionate in His responses. Even if no one else gets you, He does.

He wants the best for you and He knows your heart. He knows your desire. He knows your fears. He knows your frustrations. He knows you!

That my brethren is an amazing thought.

So no matter what situation you are in, rest in the fact that God knows you, listens to you, understands you, gets you, and is with you.

It is about Him from start to finish so make sure He is included in every conversation, decision, and most of all make sure you listen to Him when He speaks.

Don't let man take His place. Seek Jesus first! Trust in His plans for you, and make sure you consult Him. He will listen, even when others won't.

Jesus thank You that You hear us, love us, and know everything about us. I trust You and praise You for I know You will reveal Your plans for us. Keep us from seeking man first and don't let us get ahead of You! Amen
