Hearing from God

I bless your spirit

To “… earnestly desire

The spiritual gifts,

Especially that you may prophesy.” (1 Cor. 14:1)

Not that you may

Thunder like Amos

Or agonize like Jeremiah.

Not that you may

Speak perfect oracles

Or tell the future

Or rebuke sinners—

But that you may

“Strengthen…

Encourage…

Comfort….” (1 Cor. 14:3)

God has given you

Spiritual Eyes,

May you see as He sees.

God has given you

Spiritual Ears,

May you hear all He speaks.

God has a thousand ways

To reveal truth through you

To bless people out of darkness.

You can watch and listen,

Child of God,

You can see and hear Him—

And you can speak.
