   If God speaks to his children then why can't all of his children hear him? All his children can hear God's voice, the true
question is are they listening. Our lives are full of clutter, noise, and other distractions which hold our attention. Imagine
having a conversation with your spouse during the middle of a football game with your favorite team. Which one will hold your
attention more; the football game or what your spouse is saying to you.
     God speaks to us in many forms: Through his word (The Bible), Through other people, through situations in our lives and
even through dreams. Can we devote the time to listen; avoiding the distractions of life.  Just as your spouse expects your
full attention, so does God. A real conversation is when one person speaks while the other person listens. When you speak to
God your expectations are that he is listening; so why are you not listening when God speaks to you?
