Be Still

When I am still and I don’t let the loud messages of the world in, I will hear God’s whispers. My attention honors Him and He speaks. I don’t hear condemnation even when I deserve it. I hear love. I hear the best ways to live my life in order to live it well. I hear that my happiness comes when I realize that my happiness is connected to helping other people. When I do the things that have been planted deep in my soul, helping others will be the result. Most of all, I hear that my life isn’t really about me—it’s about God and others.
