listening

By what name is God calling you now?  Who is He urging you to be at this point in your life, for His greater glory, for the growth of your own holiness and in service to your brothers and sisters?  Are the lines of communication full of static or fuzzy right now?  This too shall pass.  If we are determined to stay in His Light, Jesus has got us covered.  We are part of His flock, and His sheep recognize His voice.
