Is Anybody Listening?

July 2, 2008

I drive the highway to work and I see almost everyone on their cellphone talking to someone. I look online and I see lots of people have their own personal blogs, detailing their life and their thoughts. "Talking" online, as it were.

This is a lot of talking. It makes me wonder - with everyone talking all the time, who is doing the listening? Is anyone?

When you are talking to someone, are you really listening to them, too? Or are you using the time that they are speaking to organize your OWN thoughts about the next thing YOU want to say?

Is anybody listening to you?

No matter what is happening to you, no matter whether you talking aloud, or writing, or blogging, or just thinking, God is listening. Of this you can be certain. Always.

God is listening to you as one listens to a beloved child - with open ears and an open heart.
Never be afraid that you are lost or forgotten in our fast and furious life of today.
You are remembered, loved, and listened to, by no less than the Everlasting, Almighty Lord of All.

And THAT'S the Good News.
Peace,
Rev. Julie
