hearing from god is like... 09

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s so good to hear Gods voice,

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like a drink of spring water on a hot summers day, it’s like a cuddle when your feeling down, a hot water bottle on a frosty night, or a summers night with stillness in the air.

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like a walk though dry autumn leaves or smelling the sweetness of new mown hay,

Is like a spring morning when the birds sing of the glory that is God’s alone.

Hearing the voice of God,

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s all this and more, it’s like renewing friendship with a long lost friend or when a son or daughter comes home on a surprise visit.

Hearing the voice of God,

Oh I love his word don’t you? It’s like a fresh breeze on a baking hot day, the smell of a glasshouse that’s just been watered on a sunny day, or the sound of your favourite music.

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s like waking up in a dark room and finding that outside the door there is light... You will not stumble or fall…

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s like newly baked bread, a comforting smile, a mothers loving touch, a fathers embrace, a daughters funny ways, a son’s strength, oh! Lord you are altogether lovely!

Hearing the voice of God,

Is being able to sleep soundly when all around you things are in a mess, like being in a place where fear has no passport and where sickness has no visa and where death is defeated.

Hearing the voice of God,

To a child It’s like the smell of candyfloss on your first visit to the circus, an ice cream on a summers day, the making of your first snowman with dad’s help.

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s like winning of a race when mum and dad are watching and cheering, the passing of your first big exam, a hug that says ‘I forgive you’ when you have written on the kitchen wall.

Hearing the voice of God,

To a mum, it’s like a babies first smile, the feel of a babies hand on her face, her child’s first word, a well done from the husband, a shoulder to cry on.

It’s like a warm embrace with no strings attached and being loved just for herself, getting a birthday card without having to prompt anyone and getting control of the TV control box..

Hearing the voice of God,

Hearing the voice of God,

To a dad it’s like having being loved without having to do DIY, not having to make all the decisions, hearing a well done, a kiss from daughter without an ulterior motive.

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s being allowed to be himself instead of Tom cruise, being told he looks great even when he looks like an old man,

Hearing the voice of God,

Its getting a daughters hug without a request for extra pocket money and a son’s smile without having to hand over the car keys,

Hearing the voice of God,

To a daughter, its like hearing a father say I love you, a well done from mum, a compliment without fishing for one, a first date and a first real friend,

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s like a brothers love, a kiss without strings; like being wanted just for herself and being hugged by her boyfriendwithout any ulterior motive.

Hearing the voice of God,

To a son, it’s like fathers well done, a mums appreciation, his first real girlfriend, his first car, his first love affair andhis first night out without a chaperone,

Hearing the voice of God,

It’s like a son getting his first good job, being admired by his friends and having the whole world say, ‘your cool’

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like the moon light on a dark night, ‘welcome’ the stars on a clear night, ‘inspiring’ like the rain after drought, ‘essential’ like the sun, ‘always there’

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like breathing, ‘we could not live without him’ it’s like a comforting smile, ‘a treasure’ and like living with a faithful friend, ‘comforting’ It’s life with a capital L, ‘awesome’

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like receiving everything you ever needed, everything you ever desired and being in every place you ever wanted to be and all at the same time,

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like being the wealthiest person on earth without the hassle of keeping it and worry about loosing it all.

Is like being so close to God that you can almost touch him, rewarding? it’s like heaven on the way to heaven,

Hearing the voice of God,

Hearing the voice of God,

Is like having every good and precious memory flooding your mind at the same time. As for me I could not nor would I want to live without him or his Words of life.

Hearing the voice of God,
