God's Voice

I am trying to learn the characteristics of God's voice......I think of a child across a very busy room hearing a very familiar voice....her father's voice. Above everything else going on in the room she can hear him saying something to her all the way across the room. She can pick out his voice - her loving Daddy's voice.
I want to be like that child.....in all the craziness of this busy world.....I want to be able to hear my loving Father's voice as He talks to me.
His voice is not bossy....it's not demanding.......it's not pushy. I have so many of these voices everyday that I think it's important to know in my heart that He does not talk to me in this way. He is wanting me to slow down and focus across this busy world on Him as he patiently talks to me. May I focus on Him as I make my daily choices and decisions.......and look to Him for His approval and not to others around me. As I bring out what God's voice is NOT.....I can now focus on what His voice is to me: patient, loving, wise, comforting, guiding, and most importantly My Daddy's Voice!

Thank you for the encouragement and quiet reminder that we all need to be listening for His gentle voice.
