Listen

In times of stress or struggle,
Listen for
The higher voice,
The deeper voice,
The quieter voice,
The calmer voice,
The voice of reason and restraint,
The voice of wisdom and clarity.

That voice is always present within you,
If you but stop, cease wrestling
And listen, just listen.

If you are listening
With too much doubt,
Temper that, even temporarily.
Believe for now, this time
That a greater voice is addressing you,
And behold what faith will unfold.
For Truth reveals itself only
In an atmosphere of listening faith,
When the heart is ready to receive it.

When you believe,
Then you can love;
And when you love,
Then you can do and be,
All that is in you to do and be.
And only then you will become an instrument
Of the Most High.
