John 10:27-30 Reflection ~
Do you hear Jesus’s voice? Most of the time, what we “hear” is just a feeling to read the Word, go to church, or love wells up in your heart to do something for someone. Sometimes Jesus calls us more directly, especially when we know the presence of Christ. Intuition can also increase and mingle with divine thoughts. If you take the time to be with God, you willingly follow the Sprit’s lead and give of yourself in time, talent, or treasure, then you hear Jesus’s voice. There should not be any doubt that you are also embraced in a spiritual bond for all eternity by the one Trinity of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
