Am I Listening?

Am I listening? 

Do I HEAR the Holy Ghost

trying to speak to me?

Do I recognize that the Holy Ghost

is trying to reach me?

Do I HEAR the voice of the Lord?

My ability to HEAR the Holy Ghost

is directly related to my desire

to communicate with him.

Do I hunger & thirst after righteousness?

Am I filled with the Holy Ghost?

Do I seek the touch of his spirit in my life?

Do I turn my face heavenward,feeling the caress

of his spirit touching my soul?

With my face turned heavenward

soaking in his living water

I CAN be filled with the Holy Ghost!

I CAN be a woman who listens, who HEARS,

who gives heed to the voice of the Lord!

I CAN open my ears to hear his voice.

I CAN learn the language of prayer!

As the Holy Ghost enlarges my mind,

my heart, my understanding,

he gives me gifts

of wisdom, courage & hope.

Through these gifts

I CAN achieve peace of mind.

The more I read the scriptures

and sincerely pray,

the more I hunger and thirst

after righteousness. The more I desire good,

the more my desire for righteousness grows,

I CAN recognize the  promptings of the spirit,

I CAN hear the voice of Lord!

Do I HEAR him talking to me?

WILL I listen to him?

WILL I desire good?

WILL I change spiritually and

WILL I become a woman

who radiates the light of Christ in her life?

WILL I listen?

I CAN HEAR his voice,

and I WILL become more like him.

Listen. . . .

Do I HEAR?
