Listen

We get to pick our second word - LISTEN. We listen to God, and God listens to man as well.

Some revelations for me:
(1) Faith comes by hearing, this has been said by priests and preachers (and it's in the Bible). I try to follow this for I want to increase my faith. I follow, but have not fully understood.
(2) Tonight, I realize that when one reads, it is the mind that processes the information. One cannot read with his heart, but he can hear, not only with his ears, but also with his heart.
(3) When you hear your name, you are urged to respond.
(4) When you hear . . . you act, either you follow, you do otherwise or you do not do anything.
(5) I also got to know that Mary listens to God, she keeps the things she hears in her heart and she acts according to His will, not hers. Thus we say, she has Faith.

Faith comes by hearing. Again, the word is "Listen".

If today you hear His word, harden not your hearts.
