A Feeling

Close your eyes and listen, what do you hear?  Do you hear your heart beat?  Can you hear your soul talking to you?  Can you hear God whispering to you that he loves you?  When things get bad we often will start asking God questions on why and sometimes we yell and scream at him.  Not that we hate him but sometimes we need to vent.  But what if you can't vent, what do you then?  We look at those who surround us for help but when they don't listen how can we get the help.  God created many of us to be imperfect and though it is a blessing in many disguises it can also be a curse to our lives.  Many of us will walk this Earth alone and frustrated searching for some one to truly listen to us and see us.  How will you help?  The answer is simple, it all starts with a "Hello".  When you say "Hello" for a brief moment in time, it stops.  Everything stands still to that person and a small amount of emotion fills them but it may be brief.  The second step is still easy "How are you feeling today?"  Now the hard part has started, Feelings, now that is a hard word for most of us.  How do we feel?  Do you feel unloved, appreciated, hated or truly loved?  Don't ever pass over the chance to look at how you feel, it is a rare thing.  God teaches us to listen and we work oh so hard to hear the word of God but do we work just as hard to listen to our brothers and sisters of this world?  If I was to tell you "I feel unappreciated "  What does that tell you, are you going to make a simple remark or allow that person to share his or her world with you and that is gift not only from the person but from God.  I can tell you how I feel all day but if I get the feeling you are not listening then I feel bad and will close up, "Another person who doesn't care"  Another feeling that is added to the list.  If you are excited about something and wish to share it, would you want someone to brush it off like it is nothing.  No, you wouldn't, you would want to scream at the top of your lungs and tell the world.  So remember, listen to people and how they feel, and put as much work into it as you do trying to listen to God.  I know you can do it....  I have a feeling about you :)
