Experiencing Him As Truth

As I walked with the Lord today I talked with him about his words in John 8:32-32, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine:

(32) and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"

and about His words in John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice and I know them by name, and they follow Me"

I shared that I love reading and studying the Bible as His Word, and I also love being able to hear His voice when He advises, guides and directs my steps with each new day. I thanked Him that He has taught me spend time with Him in reading His written Word and time with Him learning to know the difference between my own imagination and thoughts, and His Still Small Voice. How amazing that He would allow me to learn to hear His voice in these ways.

Individuals have asked me how to hear His voice. I share with them that it is the same process by which they learn to hear the voice of their loved ones or spouse, The more time you spend with your loved once or spouse, the more familiar your are when your hear their voice even in a group of gathered people. The more time you spend listening to their heart about their specific concerns, the more you become sensitive in how to build a strong relationship with them.

I am learning to listen to His voice and not my own imagination so that the Truth of His Voice can lead me in what I do and what I say. I invite you, dear reader to find the Truth in this way, as well.

Thank you for spending time with me in my chapel walk today.
