Real Hope: The Art of ListeningSample

In The Stillness

Listen to the wind – you can hear within it the encircling of His grace.

Listen to the movement of water – you can hear within it the freshness of His mercy.

Listen to the bird chirp – you can hear within it the consistency of His provision.

Listen to the thunder – you can hear within it the strength of His power.

Listen to the baby’s laugh – you can hear within it the overflow of His joy.

Listen to the melody of a song – you can hear within it the vastness of His creativity.

Listen to the crack of lightening – you can hear within it the force of His strength.

Listen to beating of your heart – you can hear within it the depth of His love.

Only in stillness can we truly hear.

Are you still? What do you hear?
