The Listening Heart

Reading the Word of God teaches us to hear the Word of God speaking in our hearts.  And once we hear His voice within, all other voices become silenced to us.  We hear people speaking, but their words have no effect unless they are confirming in us the words we have already taken into our hearts.  Like Mary, the sister of Martha, we sit at the feet of Jesus and listen.  His is the only Voice we desire to hear.
