‘This is my Son, the beloved; he enjoys my favor. Listen to him’. (Matthew 17)

If you are anxious and nervous and tense and upset, you don’t listen because your anxiety allows you no space to listen. You can’t receive the voice of God that assures us, ‘You are with me always, and all I have is yours’. Let us try to give time and space to that amazing voice, speaking in our hearts. Listening is creating the space in which you can hear the voice that says, ‘You are my beloved son, you are my beloved daughter, you are special to me. All that is mine is yours.
