For about a month I've been trying to hear God. Books on how to listen to him, and when he speaks to you. I've spent nights closing my eyes, hearing the voices inside my head. Days watching the world, waiting for something to reach me. Prayers, to help me hear his word. In this book I read, it stated that his thought will always be the clearest voice in your head. So I dug inside myself trying to listen, trying to hear. To no avail. I was unable to tell the difference between him and my conscience. It was difficult to understand what I really heard and where it came from. I gave up with a bitter disappointment.
One day I was walking into video 94 when I saw a homeless man out in front. Paying no attention to him I get out of my car and walk towards the door. "Hey man can you spare a couple of coins so I can buy a tamale?" he'd say as I got closer." yeah no problem" I quickly reply. I walk over to my car to grab some coins and close the door. I start walking towards him jingling the coins in my hand. " You know what, hold on" I' say to him. I take out my wallet and grab two dollars, handing it to him along with the coins " God bless you" he says to me. I end the conversation with a smile and walk into the video store. When I get back to my car I think about what just happened and what he said, "God bless you". The entire conversation I had with the man occurred without thought nor hesitation. "His voice will always be your clearest thought" I'm reminded. I smiled, started the ignition, and left.
