Attention please!

Voices!! We hear them all the time. It could be the chattering voice (or rather noise) of people around. What do they talk about? Depends! Sometimes, we don't care. Some topics interest us and we contribute to the conversation. At times, we merely listen. If not, we turn our ears off that voice.
There is another kind of voice that hardly stops. This is the voice that says "you are tired. Why don't you sleep? This work is boring after all!" or "you said the right thing. You don't have to apologise." Whose voice? Yours. The mind is always at work, talking something to you about everything. As if all these voices were not enough, there is also the sound of music ringing in the ears. For some who are addicted to music, this sound is constantly around.
Whatever kind of voice, there is some voice talking to us all the time. The loudest voice, I think, is our own voice. It directs what you do and how you make decisions. Well, mentioning about the loudest voice, there is also the softest voice. As you might have guessed... it is the sweet, meek and loving voice of God. But, we hardly stop to listen to that voice. Is that voice too low that we hardly hear it? Not exactly. The problem is that we hardly tune in to hear that voice. When we are tuned to that gentle voice, the voice of God is really loud and clear. It's audible indeed!
Amidst all other voices, or rather, away from all these voices, let's take time to tune in to the voice of God and to remain tuned. He is waiting for us to listen to Him!! He's got lots to tell you...
