Cherish these intimate "words" from the Father.

Real Success
"Let’s talk about success and about being successful.
First, focusing on the primary thing: living a spiritual life –- a successful life.
If you focus on an earthly success, you will find yourself buried in stress, loneliness and bitterness.
Focus on the spiritual realm and you will find yourself with real success.
It is not easy and it is not for everyone to find a successful life
here and thereafter, but it is certainly possible."
The Father is always speaking...
He speaks to His children in many ways.
He speaks through every day circumstances in the simple results of our actions and our words.
He first, and foremost, speaks to us all through the reading and hearing of His Word.
He speaks to us through apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
He speaks through friends and strangers and angels unaware.
He speaks through signs and wonders, through triumph and tragedy, through dreams and visions.
And He speaks to us through His "still, small voice."
For some, the Father has chosen to make His still, small voice so distinct, and so totally recognizable from their own voice and thoughts, that clarity is preeminent.
Those with whom the Father has given this gift of clarity are so chosen because He has also given them a selfless innocence, a childlike faith and a self-effaced nature.
You can not manufacture these wonderful qualities because they are given by God. Ultimately, it is the Lord Himself who is speaking.
