Hearing from God

In line with my last couple of posts, I asked God the other day how to lead my friends to him, and his response was, "Show them that I love them." I replied, "How?" and he said, "By loving them." It's simple and confirming what I'm already doing, but I had an observation about hearing from God; when I have a thought, it starts as an idea or an observation, and begins to develop into a more complete thought, but when God speaks to me, he gives me an already complete thought. It's as though I am hearing from another person who says something I hadn't thought of before.
