To know His voice well enough that we don't have to stop to think when He requests something, we just act.<br /><br />I pray that when He says "jump" I only ask "how high?"HisFireFlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846956916583286916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048814.post-13851043126350154652011-04-19T08:38:36.688-07:002011-04-19T08:38:36.688-07:00Just do it!
