Listen


So many times in life you're at crossroads where you do not know which way to go. Sometimes this confusion is not because you have too many options in hand, but most times it is 'coz you do not really know what you really, really want. And this can be frustrating at times, most times, if you get what I am saying.

And then you feel like tossing a coin upwards, or look for soothsayer, or browse through the newspapers and read what the stars have to say (sic), or just look for a serendipitious sign around. Makes sense? No, at_the_least for me! How could you look around and outside for something that should come naturally to you from within? You will know when it comes from within, trust me. You don't need a someone to rant out your future. Your heart will tell you that. Your heart will tell you exactly what you need to do, where you need to go, what you need to love, what you need to let go; all you need to do is just listen without prejudice. And listen patiently to that little voice of God that speaks in your heart. That feeble, fragile and faint little voice called conscience. Most people do not realise that conscience needs to be handled with care. Most people forget if you do not listen to him now, he will hold his peace forever. And that my dear friend, is not so a good thing to live with. Without that little voice of God still beating in our hearts we would be animals on twos. I bet God doesn't want that to happen. There is still time, it is not too late, yet. Don't let him die! No, not yet. 'Coz if he dies, you will too, eventually. And I bet you don't want that miserable death, do you? Don't you dare disobey or ignore him for long. Who knows, he may be dead by tomorrow. And you may never know what may befall you. Sounds scary? I know it does.

Folks, listen - to the sound from deep within.

This reminds me of a hymn we sung in school:

Listen, let your heart keep seeking,
Listen, to his constant speaking,
Listen to the spirit calling you.
Listen, to his inspiration,
Listen, to his invitation,
Listen to the spirit calling you.

He's in the sound of the thunder,
In the whisper of the breeze.
He's in the might of the whirlwind,
In the roaring of the seas.

    Listen, let your heart keep seeking,
    Listen, to his constant speaking,
    Listen to the spirit calling you.
    Listen, to his inspiration,
    Listen, to his invitation,
    Listen to the spirit calling you.

    He's in the sound of the thunder,
    In the whisper of the breeze.
    He's in the might of the whirlwind,
    In the roaring of the seas.

    He's in the laughter of children,
    In the pattern of the rain.
    Hear Him in cries of the suffering,
    In the moaning and their pain.

  5. 3) He's in the noise of the city, in the singing of the birds.
    And in the night time, the stillness helps you listen to this word.
    Listen to the Spirit calling you.
