Listen For His Voice
Author Henri Nouwen did a great job of taking Scripture and forming them together to hear God speak powerful words to you and to me:
“I have called you by name, from the very beginning. You are mine and I am yours. You are my Beloved, on you My favor rests. I have molded you in the depths of the earth and knitted you together in your mother’s womb. I have carved you in the palms of My hands and hidden you in the shadow of My embrace. I look at you with infinite tenderness and care for you with a care more intimate than that of a mother for her child. I have counted every hair on your head and guided you at every step. Wherever you go, I go with you, and wherever you rest, I keep watch. I will give you food that will satisfy all your hunger and drink that will quench all your thirst. I will not hide my face from you. You know me as your own as I know you as My own. You belong to me. Wherever you are I will be. Nothing will ever separate us. We are one.”
An incredible scipture that will quench the thirsty soul in it’s most desperate of times. Nothing can reassure us or comfort us like the the words of God, words from a loving Father to his child. In these words, I find all that I need.
