Have you ever been sitting in on a conversation where you just can't seem to get one word in? Hopefully, I'm not that person that comes to your mind. I find it rude and annoying when the other person won't even give me a chance to contribute any input on the topic of the conversation. Now in may case this rarely happens to me because I am quite the talker. If anything I need to be sensitive to the fact of allowing the other person to share their thoughts and opinions. Recently, my wife has been gently calling my attention to the fact that I interrupt her when she is speaking. Yes, I know very rude. Honestly, I don't realize I even when I do it. All the more for me to be aware and keep my mouth shut. Not everyone needs to know what I feel or really cares to know about my story.
When it comes to prayer I sense we as followers of Christ are constantly talking at God. Telling him are dreams, goals, plans, needs, and wants. We even sometimes might pray for others special needs, but our prayers our very self-fish. Our prayer's often start with "God I ". Our conversations with God consist of "I". God desires to be in a relationship with you. A real relationship consists of two individuals equally making effort to communicate in order to construct a relationship. I am curious to believe that there are a lot of one sided relationship Christians out there. I wonder if God would wish us to stop talking at him and prefer us to just listen to him. If I were the Loving father and desperately longed to be in a relationship with my children then I would would be pretty annoyed at times. We come to him with our requests, but he longs comes to come to us with words of life .
Instead of talking to God and just try to LISTEN. I want a Fully functioning Godly relationship between me and the father.
ROCK ON!
