Whispers

Everything with God is better.
In case you missed that, it's true.
Mornings are better.
Walking is better.
Sleeping is better.
Working out is better.
Breathing is better.
LIFE is better with God.
Actually, I'm not really sure how I lived before God.
What was my purpose in life?
Where was I going?
What were my dreams?
It's so hard to imagine a day without God.
Talking to Him.
Laughing with Him.
Sitting in quiet meditation.
Listening to Him.
I can't imagine life without the guidance of my Savior.
I fall asleep talking to Him.
Turning the world over in my thoughts.
Reveling in His ways.
Marveling at His voice.
I wake up comforted.
Hugged by the Creator of the World.
And I smile.

Have you ever noticed that the days you give to God in prayer are the best ones?
The days that you wake up and realize - this isn't about me.
It's not a question of "what will I do today?"
It's a question of "how will God use me today?"
or better yet "what does God have in store for me?"
It's the excitement of doing the work of God.
Of listening to His voice, and knowing that He will not lead you wrong.
His will for your life and His urgings are infinitely better than any plans we might have originally had.
And at the end of the day - you realize how extremely true that is.
God's plans are better.

When I follow the voice of God, His quiet whispers,
I don't think that "maybe I'm missing out"
or "I'd be happier if I was sinning" -
okay hopefully no one actually thinks that,
but if you substitute other words like having sex, drinking, popularity, etc
you get the idea.

Somehow we've twisted God.
We've twisted His will and His calling into something bizarre.
We think that we're sacrificing something for Him.
That we're giving up things that could make us happier so that we can follow Him.
Honestly? That's completely wrong.
When I honestly am seeking the will of God and His voice and earnestly following?
I'm so, so much happier than any worldly thing could make me.
Daily God fills me with a joy that I can't even begin to explain.
The joy of follow Him.
The days when I listen to God are the best days.
I never, ever look back and think "I wish I would have gone drinking"
or "I should have gone home with that guy"
No. Because worldly things pale in comparison to the joy of doing the will of God.
Sure, we all have our days.
Days when we don't listen.
Days when we give in to the voices of selfishness and the world.
But God is faithful, and He is waiting with open arms.
I guess all I'm trying to say is this:
God is good. He knows what He's doing. Listen. You won't regret it.
