IF I AM HEARING CLEARLY



If I am hearing clearly,

then You are saying to me,

“Go for it, for the time has come,”

but I can’t help but wonder,

if I may be to dumb

to truly understand the silent words

spoken so softly from Your heart to mine.

The shadows of birds

fly along the ground, directly under

the flight path of the very birds casting them.

But, am I so aligned with the will

of the One who has cast and molded me

that I am following as closely

as the shadows cast by mere birds

follow their masters?

Am I following You close enough to

truly know Thy will?

Are we as inseparable as a bird and its shadow?

Lord, I truly want to know

Thy will for me, now.

If I am hearing clearly,

then You are saying to me,

“Go for it, for the time has come,”

Yet, I am still unsure if I truly understand

the silent words You are speaking to my heart.

Lord, please give me a sign

so that I will know, not only in part,

but truly know, to completely understand

Thy will for me.

If I am hearing clearly,

then You are saying to me,

“Go for it, for the time has come.”
