Four Words

It was four little words that grabbed my attention.  I’ve read this story many times, but that day, it was four words that leapt off the page and filled my mind and my heart.

In context these words are just a piece of a conversation between God and Abraham, but to me, on that day, they were literal. They meant everything.

I have heard you. Genesis 17:20

The same God who I pray to each day is the same God Abraham prayed to.  And the same God who answered Abraham’s requests is the same God who answers my prayers.  The same God who blessed Abraham as the father of many nations is the same God who blesses me.

He hears me.

He hears you.

He is listening.
