Shocked by my sister’s method to deal with noises in her mustang…
We are intimidated, even afraid to listen. Listening is something avoided because it would reveal things. It would require change.
But even a short daily time of listening to Jesus can bring a radical change in your life. Here’s what Henri Nouwen wrote in a letter to his nephew:
“Praying is first and foremost listening to Jesus, who dwells in the very depths of your heart. He doesn’t shout. He doesn’t thrust himself upon you. His voice is an unassuming voice, very nearly a whisper, the voice of a gentle love. Whatever you do with your life, go on listening to the voice of Jesus in your heart. This listening must be an active and very attentive listening, for in our restless and noisy world Jesus’ loving voice is easily drowned out. You need to set aside some time every day for this active listening to Jesus, if only for 10 minutes. Ten minutes each day for Jesus alone can bring about a radical change in your life.
You’ll find that it isn’t easy to be still for 10 minutes at a time. You’ll discover straightaway that many other voices—voices that are very noisy and distracting, voices which are not God’s—demand your attention. But if you stick to your daily prayer time, then slowly but surely you’ll come to hear the gentle voice of love and will long more and more to listen to it.”
Challenge: (First note that the final week this month will have a challenge that will require 3-4 hours, you may need to schedule that time now).
This week’s challenge extends for every day the rest of the month: Spend 10 minutes listening to Jesus.
