When He Speaks to Me

This just “struck” me today…Seeking our fellow man’s opinions, ideas, thoughts, and wisdom can leave us so empty and unsatisfied. We think and hope it may help us, or comfort us, or do “something” for us; but it only leaves us unfulfilled in the end. We long for a special connection, but merely seeking an emotional or mental connection with our fellow man leaves us empty.

God is the only One Who can fill us up, satisfy us, comfort us, encourage us, love us, and advise us in ways that will not ultimately leave us feeling empty. Quite often, God certainly brings and has people in our lives through Whom He does what only He can do. However, the source is HIM; we are not to look to those people as the ones who are there to satisfy us and/or our longings. He is THE Source of all that can possibly fulfill us (http://mabsspot.blogspot.com/2007/10/he-is-full-circle.html). If it is not coming from Him, then it will be empty and temporal; merely a band-aid to our longing or aching hearts. HE is THE FULLNESS we desperately crave and long for.

Nothing can possibly measure up to connecting with God and Him speaking to me. When He speaks His truth and wisdom in my ear and to my heart, when He comforts my aches and satisfies the longings, when He lets me feel His arms wrapped around me, there is a satisfaction and a fulfillment within me that cannot even come remotely close to anything else in this earthly world. All else becomes so small in comparison. He is THE Answer to EVERY thing.

The song I share below describes a bit of what it’s like when He speaks to me. May you also seek Him to fill you up, and may He lovingly speak to you. What He speaks to you may you not hesitate to proclaim from “the housetops” as He leads you to do so.

“A disciple is not above his teacher…Sufficient is it for the disciple that he may be becoming as his teacher…nothing is covered, which shall not be revealed, and hidden, which shall not be known. What I am saying to you in the darkness, say in the light. And what you are hearing in the ear, herald on the housetops.” (Matthew 10:24-27)

When You speak to me
When I take the time to listen
There is more than what I think I feel
When You speak to me
When I sit and still the motion
There is nothing left but what is real
There is an answer to every question
The answer is You

And the heavens open when You speak to me
Pouring light into my waiting heart
And the music fills an ocean silently, quietly
When you speak to me

When You speak to me
When You call me and surround me
There is peace to cover any pain
When You speak to me
When You place Your word inside me
I am filled and I am strong again
There is a reason for every longing
The reason is You

And the heavens open when You speak to me
Pouring light into my waiting heart
And the music fills an ocean silently, quietly
When you speak to me
