The Voice Of Jesus Is Like No Other!

I heard someone call my name the other day.

I told him.  “Not now!”  “Just go away!”

It was Jesus’ voice.  It was imminent.

I was just “too busy..

 This was evident!

I didn’t care or take time to listen.

There were many things,

 I didn’t want to be missin’!

He was near me..  His voice beckoned.

Obeying his voice is an important lesson!

I made excuses not to trust and obey.

I was “preoccupied” twenty four hours a day!

This life I have.  I know the lord has given.

I haven’t included him in,

 the way I’ve been livin’!

Perhaps I’ll do it tomorrow, or some other time.

Maybe he’ll call another name.  Not mine!

I have mess that I’ve gotten myself in to.

I’ll try talking to him...   If I want to!

I know that he loves me

and wants the best.

If I obey his voice, 

my life will be blessed!

I changed my mind!  Jesus… Here I am!

Please take my life and take my hand!

I’ll do what you ask. 

I’ll listen to your voice.

This is the best decision. 

This is the best choice!

Thank you Lord for being

so patient and kind!

I want to obey you!

While I still have the time!
