(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
You must seek to hear God speak to you through an inner
conviction within your soul. At times
you may sense that God’s Voice is loud and clear, and at other times it may
seem faint and confusing. There are many
things that can compete with the Voice of God but if you are open, you will
come to know His Voice with familiarity.
This is important for your spiritual life. Learning to hear Him speak and coming to
recognize His Voice allows you to more easily walk in His ways throughout your
life. Seek to know this inner conviction
that His Voice presents to you. And as
you learn to discern it, grow in confidence at His commands of love. Daily obedience to Him in this way must
become the foundation of all that you do in life and it will become an abundant
source of His outpoured Mercy (See Diary #1383).
How familiar are you with the Voice of God? You most likely will not hear Him speak to
you in an audible way. His Voice often
comes as a strong sense that we ought to do this or avoid that. He speaks by influencing our will even more
than our mind. We may be attentive in
our mind to what we sense, but the conviction God gives us is a spiritual
sense. Though God may speak to each
person in a unique way, this inner conviction is a common experience of God’s
communication. Reflect, today, upon God
speaking in this way and if you struggle with this goal, recommit yourself to
listen. Through this habit you will
discover the abundant Mercy that God has in store for you as He guides you day
by day.
Lord, I desire to hear Your
Voice speaking to me in the depths of my conscience. Please do speak and fill my will with a sense
and a conviction of Your holy and perfect Will.
May I learn to be attentive to You every day and follow Your gentle
commands as the guiding light of my life.
Jesus, I trust in You.
