The world beckons us with promises of happiness and utopia relentlessly, while we only hear the gentle voice of the Lord in our hearts when we pay attention to him. The spiritual life is all about which voice you follow. I can picture that we all live precariously on the edge of a cliff. The world (Satan) always prompts us to jump off the cliff, promising that we'll fly and glide through the air and have the greatest thrill of our life. The Evil One never tells you where or how you will land. Don't even think about it, just enjoy the experience. The Lord God lets you know clearly that if you follow him, you'll have eternal life in heaven; but in the meantime you might have to suffer and face some hardships. So which voice do you choose to listen to? Either way, the outcome is justified. But remember that you are also being tested for how smart you are spiritually.
