In her case, Alvina Y. Platt-Gregory turned to God and asked Him for advice, which freed her from her burdens. Now she shares her experiences and realizations in the hopes of inspiring her readers and even helping them in their journeys. "Listen with Your Heart" is a collection of her poems that address various life events and situations that muscled their way into her life.

Her rhymes and verses convey how his love is never ending and he wishes all would realize this and embrace his presence.

"God gives you the desires of your {his) heart. Seek his face and ask him if what you want is what He wants. If the answer is yes, then pursue but make sure it is God’s voice. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans (Proverbs 16:3 NIV). A delay does not mean a denial." Platt-Gergory advises her readers.
