Listen to GOD


The beginning of each day is an opportunity to listen to GOD our Father. The choice is not always that clear as to who it is in our mind that is speaking. Is it our conscience or is it a reflection of a prayer.  Sometimes the voice we listen to may sound logical but is it the right choice to make. This quote comes to mind “We cannot do what GOD does and GOD will not do what we can do for ourselves”. We cannot save or sanctify ourselves GOD does that. We cannot expect GOD to gives us good habits or moral character we have to that part ourselves. The initial steps of building good habits or moral character goes against all our common sense. When the life we have built so far is based on working hard to achieve a certain goal such as a having the big house and nice car, we can end up miserable. If our aim to solely to comfort ourselves, we will never fulfill that goal. The only one who can fulfill us is the Holy Spirit that is already within us. If we begin the day by inviting GOD our Father to join us for that day we can begin to feel fulfilled. Material success is a good thing but it can’t be our only thing. Whose voice do we really need to listen for?

    Remember; If GOD be your partner make your plans large!
