GOD'S VOICE -III

The third way in which God speaks to us is through people. God reveals his plan for our lives through the words and actions of the people around us especially those who love us and know us closely. However we should have the discernment to know that even in this category, God uses only very few and selected people to convey his message to us. Words that are selfishly motivated or angry or with sinful intentions can never be from God – no matter who speaks them. However, reversely God can also use the harsh words of our critics to correct us! The best way to hear from God then would be through FAITH COMMUNITIES that are around us. They are to a large extent the voice of God because their basis is God and prayer. There is also a common bonding of supernatural love and friendship that unites the community and thus it makes it sacred, secure and selfless. Let us aim to join such a community where we are can hear the SPIRIT OF GOD and see God in action. Let us move from ourselves to others and thereby reach God.
