by Mark Weinrich
There is an inner voice that sounds like mine, revealing new thoughts, giving clarity, encouragement, discernment as when to wait and when to seize the opportunity. I sense the Holy Spirit sowing peace, where once the chaos of my waywardness produced weeds. I know the Lord is renewing and transforming my mind, teaching me first to listen and perceive, then to fearlessly act. Though gratitude, I am cultivating awareness of His presence understanding His guidance through the Word and the wonders of His creative majesty. And more than anything I love the witness of His Spirit, who tells me I am a child beloved, but not just a child, a servant with the need for sensitivity so I can hear and become all He has planned for me.
