My kids, God's voice.

Monday night, my son Caden asked me how to have a quiet time. He was baptized a month ago and his spiritual interest has been explosive.  After sharing S.O.A.P. with him he told me, "God has spoken to me before." Curious, I probed to find out when it was and what God might have said to him. He told me that a kid had called him a name at school and that he was going to call him a name back but the voice in his head told him "that would not be loving God." So Caden chose to walk away.

Isn't that how God speaks. A voice that sounds a lot like ours echo's in our mind and heart revealing the heart of God in the moment. Well what echod in my mind was a reminder that even if it feels like a while since I have heard his voice he is speaking. Can't tell you how many times God's voice sounds a heck of a lot like Caden, Gabe, or Blake.
