My personal reflection

My personal reflection is usually in the form of a conversation with God and usually includes both sides of the conversation. I know it's weird but that's how the Lord speaks to me.

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

Did I hear you right?

Luke 2:16-21

The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.  When they saw this, they made known the message  that had been told them about this child.  All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds.  And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.  Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen,  just as it had been told to them.   
When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen,  just as it had been told to them. 

Lord,
So often I am so afraid that I am not hearing you at all, then when you confirm to me through others, circumstances or events (which others may call a coincidences) I feel silly for doubting and my confidence returns.  Lord help me have the faith that believes without seeing.
