There's a difference between hearing and listening.
Lately I've been noticing myself listening to a voice. This voice is not the voice of the Father. This is a voice without Love, absent of Love, and brings forth fear.
The Voice of the Father is still here, telling me who I am. Letting me know that I do not need to be afraid. That loves me, for me.
I hear both voices. One after the other. Which voice do I want to listen to? The voice of the Father.
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
For it is in hearing the Voice of the Father, and knowing that I am known that constitutes listening. And when you are able to listen, you follow. You follow the voice unto life everlasting and the fruit of that love as we know is peace, love, joy, long suffering, understanding, kindness, gentleness, and faithfulness.
