When he was at table with them, he took the bread. He blessed the bread, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him!(Luke 24:13-35)

Do you hear what I hear?

"Speak Lord, your servant is listening!" (1Samuel 3:10)



“Be quick to listen and slow to speak." (James 1:19).


"You are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed." (Luke 10:38-42).


"He who answers before listening--that is his folly and his shame." (Proverbs 18:13).


"This is my beloved Son; listen to him." (Mark 9:7)


"Do whatever he tells you." (John 2:5)


It's hard, if not impossible to communicate with someone who is not listening at all, or giving you only part of their attention. Christ must get frustrated with us! He loves us so much, and wants to become one with each of us, but it is hard if we are not being attentive to Him.  We must turn the "noise" of the world off to make it easier to listen. Peace and quiet are so important!
