God wants us to come to Him ... with our complaints, our burdens, our aspirations, our deep longings, our heart desires, our fears, our anxieties, our anger, our frustration, our discontentment, our needs for understanding, for love, for listening, our questions.
Communication -- something seemingly absent from much of life. At home, at work, at church, everywhere. Why is that so? It is not God's desire that it is lacking.
Why is it so prevalent? Why is it so hard to commune with another?
We think we know what communication is. I wonder if we really do.
God created us in His image and blessed us. But sin entered the picture. Perhaps sin is why our communication abilities are so lacking.
God wants a one-on-one relationship with each of us. But we do not necessarily want one with him. We want everything our way. Our way or No way.
Sometimes God grants it our way. So we can see what that means...
God is at the Top. He is. No one is greater than He. Not you. Not me. Not Satan.
His way is best. And when His way becomes our way, we have achieved a degree of communication we could never have imagined.
Communication with God -- silently talking, speaking out loud, writing, singing, praising.
Philip Yancey, author of "Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?," says, "If we march through life pretending to smile while instead we bleed, we dishonor the relationship."
