What does your heart tell you?

I have a quote hanging on my wall.  "Make time for the quiet moments, when God whispers and the world is loud." Now that's the challenge  isn't it. You see God is not insecure, therfore he will not compete against all the loud voices in this earth, no He whispers.  Can He shout? Of course, His word tells us His voice can be as loud as thunder if need be! A thunder that will make any man faint, even to give up the ghost if one were to hear it!  Our Lord knows the meaning of "tough love."  It is because of His mercy that He often comes to us in a whisper.
Question,  Are we taking the time away from all our distractions to hear His whisper?  If we are not careful the voices of this day can sweep us far away from God's presence, and then what will we do? Wander about seeking fullfillment yet never able to be satisfied. For all the blessings in this world will not bring us peace if they are not received in the presence of God.
Our hearts tell us this is true. I have been among friends, and in gatherings of amusement, and in those moments I have felt my heart stop me, crying out for God..."Jesus how I need thee, love thee, you are my joy. " 
The heart knows.
I have been in the midst of receiving blessings and enjoying material goods and have felt my hearts cry for God.
And in the time of suffering,  God has been my only consolation, my comfort.
The heart knows.
What is your heart telling you?
