Listening to God

you whispered my name

in the mikvah, in the temple

you whispered my name

in the desert, in the mosque

you whispered my name

on your knees, in the church

Father, Allah, Adonai

Lord, El, Al-Rahim

Sons and Daughters

of Abraham...

all of those whispers

came to Me.

SpirfireGrrrl....Darn, looking below Anto went all out there, tongues, bible, took the words right out of my mouth. Seriously, if we listen God will guide us. Thought it was very nice. Thank you - Dale

This really caused a flux in my space-time continuum because it could be taken either way. In fact any way. The first thing I thought was of the universal message but then why all the different tongues/languages. Then I wondered about the mention of speaking in tongues in the Bible and whether that was deemed a good thing or not. Don't priests who do 'exorcisms' often say that a sign of demonic possession is when the subject speaks in tongues?
That kind of thinking clashed big-time with my Catholic upbringing - to the point of feeling blasphemous.
Its not easy being mere mortal and 'Listening to God'.

Good write SpitFireGrrl.

I understand what you mean. I was raised Catholic as well, but am currently working on my degree in religious studies. There's been a lot that has opened up, and some of that has made me rethink a few things. It can be uncomfortable at times. Thank you for reading

Indoctrination goes deep, eh?
Good luck with the studies and your career. :)
