hearing God
I read a daily devotional today that talked about hearing God, and how its hard sometimes to know if we are really hearing God, or simply hearing our own thoughts.
I really relate to this as I am never really sure and usually end up argueing it out in my head, like... am i meant to do this, or do i just think im meant to do this when really im meant to do that. (lol hope that makes sense)
I think it isnt always easy to know what God is trying to say to us, and probably the best thing we can do is look to the bible which i guess is why it is so important to learn and understand God's word.
however i often feel guilty for not being able to hear God, and am not all together sure, what hearing God really means.
sometimes when reading daily devontionals, I will come across a devotional that really fits with the things I am feeling at the time.
for instance this morning i came across one that I actually posted about, on beauty, I have been having some issues with my teeth, and have had to have a few removed, which I was very uncomfortable about.
being only 26 the thought of having teeth removed was worrying for me, because it made me wonder if i was going to loose all my teeth, before i was very old and the thought of that was very scary for me.
I worried that i would look unattactive, and then felt guilty for feeling that way, as if i were vain which i felt was wrong because God loves us all regardless.
the devotional just made me feel a little better about how i was feeling, and really helped me.
and this happens on a regular basis, and I have always felt that this was God talking to me.
I wondered what other people felt about this, and how they hear God, and would love to hear peoples oppinions on this.
