Real Hope: The Art of Listeningಮಾದರಿ
In The Stillness
Listen to the wind – you can hear within it the encircling of His grace.
Listen to the movement of water – you can hear within it the freshness of His mercy.
Listen to the bird chirp – you can hear within it the consistency of His provision.
Listen to the thunder – you can hear within it the strength of His power.
Listen to the baby’s laugh – you can hear within it the overflow of His joy.
Listen to the melody of a song – you can hear within it the vastness of His creativity.
Listen to the crack of lightening – you can hear within it the force of His strength.
Listen to beating of your heart – you can hear within it the depth of His love.
Only in stillness can we truly hear.
Are you still? What do you hear?

About this Plan
In a world that’s constantly shouting at us, sometimes it’s easy to forget to make space to listen, to listen to what is happening around you, to listen to what others are saying, to listen to the wind and the silence, or to listen to what God is saying. As you go through this week’s readings, our prayer is that you’ll start to explore what it means to listen well.
