Hello Everyone,

Read with me the following scripture.

2The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. - John 10:2-4; 27 (NIV)Teresa and I have been married for 30 years. During that time, she and I have spent countless hours and days with each other and as a result, we are intimately acquainted with each other.

I can pick her voice out in a crowd, because we share an intimate love relationship with each other. I can especially recognize her laugh!If we are daily communing with God, cultivating a deepening love relationship with Him, we will be able to recognize His voice above all others as He speaks by His Spirit through His Word, prayer, circumstances, and His people!What this means then, is that if you are having trouble hearing God speak then you are having trouble at the heart of your Christian experience! You are not right with God or you do not belong to God!

Either way God desires such a relationship with us that we can hear His voice.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
