God Bless You!

            We regularly hear parents and teachers use the phrase: “put on your listening ears”; we all need to use these from time to time as well as be “good listeners” when others need us. We all need to be heard at times (some more than others lol) and we all need that special someone who cares for us enough to carefully and sensibly listen to us (usually our BFF). I don’t know about you but I find myself specially needing this when times are rough. Sometimes it just feels so much better after we “vent”; let’s admit it…don’t deny it, it may not resolve the issue at hand but it brings an instant relieve (let’s be conscious of what we are saying and who we are saying it to). We feel as if a heavy load was lifted off our shoulders when someone offers their “listening ears” to us. Today I remind myself and everyone reading this message that no one has better “listening ears” than our Heavenly Father. He ALWAYS has the best intentions for us and is always there when we call out to him...He is our BFF: Best Friend Forever. He reminds us over and over again in his Word that he will comfort us and help us in our time of need. He wants to hear us; our voice is sweet to his ears even if we are crying our lungs out. If we are feeling alone, empty, broken-hearted, or defeated he is waiting to hear from us with his listening ears.“Vent” to your God, the only one that could truly help us! He is always ready and able to put all of our pieces back together but we have to be willing to surrender all those broken pieces to him. Cry out to him and tell him what is hurting you, tell him how you feel, tell him how much you need him today. He will never ignore you or abandon you! He is waiting to hear your voice…
