“There is a voice from within. It speaks softly and is always trying to help us. We just need to slow down a little more in life to hear it more clearly…” (Unknown)
Have you ever had a gut feeling prior to doing something, but not listened to it and then suffered because of it? Just the other day I was running the self-clean option on the oven in my home when I suddenly remembered about thirty minutes into it’s cycle that I left a ceramic dish on top of it. I quickly ran over to move it when I heard a small voice within tell me it’s going to be very hot so be careful. I wasn’t though and instead I ignored that voice and grabbed it rather abruptly. Two seconds later I threw it down on the counter, as I yelped in utter pain. A day later I had a good reminder to listen to that small voice the next time it comes, all in the form of a huge white burn blister on my right index finger. I’m sure most would say that whenever we hear this small voice within, it’s really just our intuition speaking, but I’m quite convinced it’s something more. I actually believe it’s our spirit trying to communicate to us, except most often we are moving too fast in life to hear it clearly. Although I did receive a painful reminder of this in the form of a pretty serious burn, I was grateful I received the lesson nonetheless. And hopefully the next time I’ll listen to that small voice, so that the lesson won’t have to be so painful. 🙂
I pray I slow down a little more throughout my days and start listening to that small voice within, as I know it’s my spirit just trying to help me on my journey in life.
Peace, love, light, and joy,
