If you say, ‘hear here’ together fast, it sounds like the end of a toast- followed by people clinking champaign filled flute glasses. Verbally, the words hear and here sound the same; it’s the spelling that gives identity to each word.
Just as words have identity and meaning, we have a unique identity. As much as we try to fit into the norms of our culture and circle of influence, we all have our own sense of uniqueness and purpose. We may look the same and sound the same, but God put great detail into each one of us to make us an original.
Yesterday, I heard this man speak. When the man got done talking, I felt so unholy. Then I realized that feeling unholy like I wasn’t as saintly as that man was a trap! God loves us as we are.
We are not supposed to compare our journey with someone else. If someone tells you they pray 5 hours a day, and you only pray 5 minutes, don’t let that make you feel bad or guilty (like you need to be praying 5 hours a day like them).
One thing that I have strongly learned:
God is always here!

Got 5 minutes? Got 5 hours? No problem. No matter where you are on your journey, God will meet you there. God is always here. You can turn to God at any time, and spend as much time as you need with HIM…HE is always available and present.
No matter where you are on your journey, God will meet you there. God is always hear. No matter where you are, you can talk to God. God hears everything. God is the ultimate listener.
There have been times when I feel like God is so far away. Have you ever felt that way? Just because you feel a certain way, doesn’t mean that’s the actual case. You may feel like HE is far away, but he isn’t… HE’s hear and here.
God has really opened my eyes to HIS here and hear presence. Sometimes we are the ones who need to be here and hear to God…so we can take notice of His guidance and answers.
So let’s raise a glass and toast to God’s goodness…hear here!
Amen.
