Let my ears hear your voice,
The sound of your voice.
Let me quiet my soul,
And escape from the noise.
Some have heard what it sounds like—
Ageless and deep
Like the rush of a waterfall
Tender and meek.
It is whispered in sleep
When you have man’s attention.
Gilded in majesty,
Transcending dimensions.
Could it be that I hear You
In more ways than I thought?
Could the gentlest breeze
Bear a message from God?
A God, who though mighty
In power He be
Remains ever
Personal to me.
-- Charity Lacroix
Scriptures:
"For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it." (Job 33:14)
"And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?" (Job 26:14)
"Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave." (1 Ki 19:11-13a)

Author's note: The poems in this blog were written by my children, ages thirteen through twenty-three. The Why This Blog post explains how the Lord inspired these poems in answer to a prayer during illness. I also recommend visiting my children's blog, A Brush with Life, where you will also find beautiful art they have drawn for the glory of God. You can access my complete blog directory at "Writing for the Master. Now I'd like to ask a very important question.
Do You Want to Know Jesus?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?
