This is beautiful.  I read it three times to yet find there is more to understand and learn about my wholehearted attentiveness to God.  If I am to hear the little voice, I am to be attentive and submit to it wholeheartedly.  This is from my long-time friend, Brother Emmanuel.

Esta bonito. Lo lei tres veces pero hay mas que entender y aprender de Dios.

His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.”  John 2:5.

First of all, discerning the will of God can be hard in the sense that it requires a wholehearted attentiveness to His gentle and subtle voice.  God does not impose His will on us; rather, He respectfully and quietly invites us to listen.  He waits until we give Him our full attention and then reveals His will one step at a time.  Yes, some things have been made clear already through public revelation such as the avoidance of sin and the embrace of faith, hope and love.  But when we are ready to let those general commands enter practically into our daily lives, we must be ready to give God our full attention.

Second, we should realize that God’s will, when properly discerned, is not always easy to embrace.  He requires everything of us.  He is a “jealous God” in the sense that He wants our total surrender.  The good news is that if we are willing to give Him everything in total obedience, we will discover that our lives are completely fulfilled. Morning and have a blessed Sunday.
