Who Speaks To Your Heart?

Devotional Excerpt taken from Ch. 2 of Who Speaks To Your Heart?

In my early adulthood, I thought living by the “thou shall nots” in the Ten Commandments was the answer to salvation. As I’ve matured and experienced life’s highs and lows without being abandoned by God, I’m continually reminded that “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,” and that it is mine to be explored and appreciated, because God created it for all of his children, including me. That means we can walk this journey of faith hand in hand with God, with joy and an open heart, trusting that as we listen for his instructions and obey him when he speaks, he’ll tell us when to run, and where.

How do you find time to connect with God?

I use my weekends to read my bible, I listen to gospel music and pray on my drive to work. I drive an hour to and from work each day so it a great time to connect with God and really spend some personal time with Him.

How do you find time to connect with God?

I make the time. When I wake up in the morning. There is a thank you. Even when I am sleeping I can suddenly awake and say thank you, Jesus. This was not always so. I have been condition to do so. I suffered from a physical ailment for seven years. I would pray morning and night. Literally because of the physical pain I endured. I slept with chest tubes in my lung, due to repetitive lung collapsed. But there is glory in my story. I am connected with God.
