God speaks
to every one of us; we just have to learn how to listen. I am still learning
because I have realized that He speaks to us in various ways. Every individual
just has to Identify the one way in which God communicates with him that he understands
the most, and develop his hearing ability in that direction.
It may not
be very easy to do, but I assure you it is not impossible. We need to pray to
Him for the ability to hear Him and understand Him better, and also to understand
the things He says to us, as they are usually directions on how to live our
lives; what directions to take, what to do in every situation that we face. He
is a loving father to all of us, and He desires only the best for all of us. It
does not matter whether we are the worst sinners or not, for we are all sinners
and have fallen short of His Glory. (Romans 3:23)
Just as God
speaks to all of us, He also hears us all when we pray to Him – whether He
answers our prayers or not is another topic all together. We can however,
develop ourselves spiritually so that God will listen and answer us when we
come to Him in prayer. Development, as we know, does not happen overnight, it
takes time, consistency, devotion, meditation on His word and perseverance. God
is ever willing to forgive us all of our sins and welcome us into His fold,
into His bosom, but it is left for us to seek Him and desire to be in His
presence, for He has given every one free-will
to choose our paths – whether we want to walk the broad road that leads to
the devil or the narrow path that leads to God and His heavenly kingdom.
[Matthew
7:13-14 New International Version (NIV) 13 “Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But
small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find
it.]
We will do
well to choose wisely; for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole
world and loses his soul. (Mark 8:36)
