I have wondered about this Bible story for more than a few years now.
Recently my own grown-up son was hurting mentally and physically. The quote “God heard the lad” was an angel thought as I prayed.
I sat quietly and prayed, the words above came to my thought and brought me peace.
I am glad to say, our son had a better day and some good experiences,
Caroline thank you for mentioning the book The Little Prince, it is a favorite of mine. The line you quoted is perfect for today’s topic of listening to what is real with our spiritual sense.
It is considered a children’s book but very spiritual and beautiful and can be understood on many levels. I think it’s time for a re-read. Wonderful weekend to all!
Came across this article I hadn’t read before on spiritual sense. It’s lengthy, but a good read. If you’re interested:

“When the heart speaks, however simple the words, it’s language is always acceptable to those who have hearts.”

Could it be said more elequently?
I love that – so simple , yet wordless affection is always the most effective way of communicating
Why so sad mum?
Concerned for,
Your dis-located son?
A bow shot distance he,
Over, by yonder tree,
Yet,
“God heard the lad”
Be not sad,
Be still, and know,
He is My beloved son.
I wondered about that too. Now I see her as expressing a deep deep love for the child.

This is so very helpful for me, too, who sometimes forgets that God is “my” son’s real Father, who cares for him always. Thank you for sharing ❤️
And I particularly love today’s HEART- centering thought…. we hope we kniw that heart~Love precedes intellect.
Dear Still, here,
Your poem is so beautiful. It touched my heart, I’m sure it does every mother’s (and father’s). Thank you so much.

Yes Evan sir for sharing wonderful Truth . Only with spiritual sense we can feel presence of God.
In spiritual sense we have all the love that God has given to us,each in every one of his idea , and there where our hearts rest upon.
When the heart speaks, however simple
the words, the language is always acceptable
