The Greatest Gift

by Rev. Robert Joseph Thompson, O.M.C.

The greatest gift… that I give to me,
is listening to Guidance, from Eternity.

This is also The Gift… you may give to yourself,
no matter the matter… Heaven will help.

If you know in your heart…
that God will speak to you,
you just need be still…
and His Voice will come through.

Once upon a time, at 1:30 a.m.
in the morning, Divine Guidance
woke me with clear instructions
for a major change in my life,
that I did not want to obey.

The suggested change was too great,
requiring me to give up, in my
opinion, too much! So I tried to
modify, through negotiation with God,
a sort of middle path, or compromise.

I was sitting up in bed,
with the light on, when God
spoke again, but, not
“in a Still Small Voice!”
It was quite loud, and
echoed in my small bedroom!
“You have heard my words…
do what you will!”

I received an immediate image of
Pontius Pilate, washing his hands!
The message seemed quite clear.
“Obey, or I am washing
my hands of you!”

In order to come to peace,
I had to obey! Thus I had to give up,
a very great earthly and spiritual
treasure. By allowing this
to happen, I did, eventually,
after much turmoil, come to peace.

Shortly thereafter, I was given more
than I had given up! Included in what I received, was…
all I had given up! and… much… much more!

Now, 12 years later, I am acutely aware,
of the stream of continuous
blessings, that have flowed through
my daily life since then!

The greatest gift… is listening to Guidance… from Eternity!
