I think it means that God is saying: "This is important. Pay attention to what I have to say."  It's like a parent with a child when the parent wants to get the child's attention when the parent takes the child's face in their hands, looks them straight in the eye and states, "Listen to me!  Hear what I'm saying" 

I can hardly wait to see what You have in store for me today in the way of a personal revelation.  It has been an amazing few days since we began this together.
