Do you let His words fall to the ground?

The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and  he let none of his words fall to the ground. 1 Samuel 3:19 (NIV)

I wish I could say I have lived the life of Samuel and listened and embraced everything the Lord has said to me.  There have been many times I have let his words "fall to the ground".  It is such a blessing to have the Lord love us, to care about us, and to speak to us.  I know there are times when the Lord speaks to me and is guiding me on how to live my life:  "don't boast, show compassion, don't judge them, help that man on the street, love your neighbor, ...."  We have all heard his words.  Try not to let them fall to the ground...I am trying.
