God Hears Your Heart Say
What is it that you tell yourself that you want most in your life? Even if you have a list of 1,000 sought-after desires, such a list is not enough for you, unless, that is, you have one major desire that heads the list.
You might guess that I expect your major desire to be your search for Me. There could still be yet another part of the equation you forget to mention.
“What?” you say. “A factor greater than God? What is more than You, God? Heaven, perhaps? Love with a capital L? What?”
I will tell you, but not yet. Of course, the answer hinges on what you just said, yet there is an aspect you may be missing, as you will see.
When I tell you, you will say: “Oh, yes, how could I forget?”
You may get so caught up in life that you forget what you aren't paying attention to. You may be so busy just trying to keep up with life, you may not be much aware of life itself. You are singularly distracted. You may try to whiz through the day, get to work, leave work behind, and so on. Certainly, a day is taken up. It runs away with you, or you run away with it or from it. It seems you are either running away from something or running after something. Well, you are caught up in a swirl of activity, or you are chewing your nails, or you are out of breath.
This is not how you thought life would be. Sometimes you feel as if you are running on a hamster wheel, and you wonder why you are here on Earth at all. To put in time? Yet, you wonder what is the sense of life? What is its meaning? You wonder what life is, after all, offering you.
Yes, one way or another, you are on a search for God, yet there is more to the Project of Life on Earth even than this. What you are doing here is a good question. And what you may not be doing here is also a question to ask.
Yes, you are seeking Me. What else you may be seeking – the missing factor -- is your service to Me, beloveds. As you serve Me, you serve the world. Yes, you, you are to serve Me and so the world, and the entire Universe.
You can even seek to serve and not think of Me, yet in serving one spot of Humanity, you will be serving Me. Serve Humanity. Raise it, and you serve Me mightily.
For you to have more joy, you have to get your attention off yourself. Too much attention on you may be self-defeating. What you want to do is to get your enormous attention off yourself and onto something perhaps more significant than your comfort.
Yes, be here on Earth for more than your individual self. It’s not that you are not worth great attention. You are worth more, infinitely more than you can give to yourself without being satiated.
Oh, how you love chocolate pudding, and how eating all of it isn’t enough, and, yet, at the same time, you are sated. When you serve heaping bowls of attention on yourself, you want more and yet more. Take more modest servings for yourself. Get your attention off you and onto others that you will bless.
Light up others’ eyes. Become a listener. What are someone else’s needs? One great need is to be seen and heard. You have no idea how many hearts are not seen or heard.
Quietly and unobtrusively, serve more than yourself. Yes, this is how you serve Me and the human heart and the world and, in the process, love life, others, and yourself remarkably.
