Well, it is so simple, really.
Loving and Following Jesus is a 'Yes' to Life.
A 'Yes' to Love. And, a 'Yes' to Loving All People.
Yet, the hard part is placing oneself in front of the Divine thereupon blocking
Him out: His whispers, His calls, His urgings toward Himself.
The world with the noise does that so simply. The world places itself in front of the Divine and
at times it is so quiet and muffled one cannot hear the Christ.
There are options for those who can choose: Silence, Apartness, Separation.
I have chosen my fair share of the three to listen more deeply to my Jesus.
Today, as a near 59 year old woman, Jesus spoke to my soul when I was very young.
'Come to Me'
I listened and heard those words each and every day, growing louder and more and more intense they were. They boxed my ears. The Christ is the insistent one! I couldn't have been but 22 when the scream of Him began and to ignore was to bleed.
Today, old as I have become, the lessons are straight forward.
Do God's Bidding
Do it quickly
Do it until you know different.
And, that, friend, may take the Time of your life!
