Thank you for stopping by friends and family

Heartstrings is my place. A journey that reveals the heart of God working in me. I do make mistakes and sometimes my attitude needs adjusting. This He promises to do as I trust in Him and not try to take His rightful place holding the wheel of my life. A learning. Not a game. A future and a hope promised by a Loving, Faithful Father.

The last couple of months I have tried to make things happen. I didn't realize how much I depended on other people. Some good yes, but when God wants to bring us to depend fully on Him, then it is not a good idea to grab that control as my own.

My ears have been a difficult trial, but, I am going through it and know someday in the Lord's plans, I will be able to hear again. That is the physical of it.

What about the spiritual of this trial? Am I really getting better, stronger and able to hear His voice? 

Everyday I wake and thank God for making me fit to follow Him. Saying the Lord's Prayer like Jesus taught in Matthew 6 and then putting on the full armor of God as in Ephesians 6. Sounds easy enough right? But, taking the time to meditate on the counsel of the Holy Spirit is another thing. A deeper walk of faith.

If we want new strength in the battle then we must wait on the Lord...Isaiah 40:31. That takes being still and listening.

How to be wise? By fearing the Lord and turning away from evil. The things we spend time seeing or listening to. What is valuable and what is not? Then step away from the things that cause you heart to depart from the presence of the Lord. Then...it will be healing to your body, and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:7-8. 

I find it interesting that for all these years I had memorized Proverbs 3:5-6. I never followed through to the next part! Yet, this is the very thing that God is speaking to me about. I got close but He wants me closer. If it is true that He speaks in a whisper then it is going to take me getting closer to Him, through His precious Word to have ears to hear. Do you agree?

There are so many places in the Bible that speak about having ears to hear. From the front of God's story to the last. We are only here a very short time. Life is critical and precious. I want to hear His voice, don't you? 

I leave with this...Isaiah 30:21 says how gracious our God is. "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left."

Do you believe Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life? Revelation 3:20 says, "Behold  I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me."

Wonderful and glorious is our Redeeming Savior! Take time right now to open that door. He promised and He will forever keep His promises! Stand amazed in His presence and give Him glory by lifting your life up to Him. Ask Him to take the controls and for ears to hear. He loves you. And, in His matchless name you will be abundantly blessed. You don't have to wait for heaven. Begin now.

Abundance is...having ears to hear
