I AM here. It's time, (daily) to turn and give your ear to hear

Walking we do, each through our own path and journey. At times, out of breath. Other times, out of step. In between, many sunny days, but cold harsh winds come quickly and dark clouds bring great rains.
Does it seem as if this road of darkness has no end? Feelings invade like shadows surrounding. Thoughts tempt to harass. The heart aches with each pounding.
Is God telling me something? Thoughts seem to fly. “Talk to me in the dark!” we cry. And He, the LORD, the Creator of life, He is standing by.
“I will make my words known to you. I will give you revelation,”(1) He promises you and I. “Let My Word be the comfort in Your affliction. My promises will preserve your life.”(2)
My heart says, “It’s time.”
It’s time to listen. To the Lord first, above the wisdom of man. It’s time to turn and hear the Voice of love who says,
“I AM WHO I AM. (3)
Righteousness and justice are My foundation. Love and faithfulness go before Me. (4) I AM WHO I AM. Turn, listen to my counsel. I share my heart with you. I will make you wise. (5)
I AM not human, that I should lie.” (6)
Minute my minute, step by step, there’s a struggle inside to grasp and take hold that faith is believing, “For the Lord has said!”
Oh, to know God more. You and I, must grow in His Word. Like a seed that is planted, being watered, and with sun. However, as with a flower, faith isn’t born until the seed first, dies.
God says, “It’s time. The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. (7)
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce . . . a plentiful harvest of new lives. (8) 
God is here. He is speaking. His words are not easy. They choke down hard. They are not all promises of roses and fresh fragrant air. His speech is truth: “If you don’t want to remain alone and barren, . . . lose your life. Trust, I AM WHO I AM. I will give you new life bearing fruit.”
Thus says the Lord, John 12:25,
 Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. 
Hearing  today, whosoever, anyone. Perhaps that be our name. His Kingdom come:
 Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone . . .
who serves me, John 12:26. This day, may we hear  and heed this.
When we walk with the Lord In the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will Trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, Not a cloud in the skies. But His smile quickly drives it away; Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear. Can abide while we trust and obey.
But we never can prove The delights of His love Until all on the altar we lay; For the favor He shows and the joy He bestows Are for them who will trust and obey…”
Trust and obey, For there’s no other way To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.” (Trust and Obey John H. Sammis, 1887).
