Are You Listening?



All things are possible if we just listen to our hearts - don’t let anyone distract you from your goals - and listen, listen, listen!!


"Why won't you answer my prayers, Lord?"
And God answered.

I am the sun that shone this morning,
even though it was supposed to rain.

I am the song on the radio that
woke you on this morn.

I am the homeless person that
you shunned on your way to church.

I am the baby birds that your child
tried to show you yesterday.

I am the article in the newspaper
that you were too busy to read.

I am the sermon that your pastor
worked so hard on last night.

I am the dream that woke you.

I am that fleeting feeling of love
that you had while gazing at the moon.

I am the tears you shed even
as you prayed.

I am here, I will always answer.

Are you listening?
