God’s Voice

Jesus

Did your earthly father speak to you? Did your mother speak to you? Certainly they did. You needed voices from the adult world. You were a child, recently born into this world. You were walking and talking and discovering your little world. At this point, you needed a voice that guided you. Otherwise, you would have touched the hot stove, or used the sharp knife and cut yourself. So, God provided adult voices that helped you and made for you a path of light. All through the years, the adult voice is meant to be there until you are grown and ready to walk your own path. All of this the heavenly Father has provided.

Are these the only voices you are meant to hear? Would the Father provide all these voices – parents, teachers, relatives and counselors – and himself be silent? Would he entrust you to human voices only, when these could lead you astray or push you onto paths that were not meant for you? Does an earthly parent just turn you over to others or do they watch carefully those who influence you and correct whatever is harmful?

The Father created you as a person. He provided earthly voices to speak on his behalf, but he does not turn you over. You are his creation from beginning to end. He who created you in his own image and likeness, wants to form you in that same likeness. This is the purpose of God’s voice. (Without this voice, you cannot become a full child of God.) Only by this voice, can you become fully a child of the Most High. That will be our next lesson.
