A Broken Telephone

Communication with God was never meant to be one way. We just made it so.
So often we pray and start rattling our prayers, prayer request, petitions etc etc and we end it abrubly with the magic word- AMEN.

So you understand how God feels. Imagine a wife calling her husband over the phone and starts rattling and rattling request on the line and abruptly hangs up the line. How would the other party feel ?

Yes God listens. But many a times, He wants to talk to us as well, to provide advice, counsel or simple just chat with us. But we hardly give Him time to speak nor are we prepared to wait for His reply.

If we would only pause and wait upon the Lord. He will speak.

To hear from God, man has to learn to first keep quiet.

A Love Letter

Not many years ago couples used to hand write love letters and send it by post to his significant other. I was no different. I remembered the excitement as I opened up this special love letter from this particular girl with such anticipation, reading through the words and lines trying to sift through if there were other hidden significance embedded between the lines.

Such was the passion that I would read it over and over again. Before I slept, when I went about my chores and it went where ever i went, safely hidden in my wallet.

To many, the bible is a book or a complilation of books written by men of God.
To me, its a love letter from the Lover of my soul.

If the bible was a textbook, it would be a chore to read.
But if we realise that it is really a love letter from our greatest Love, wouldn’t it be a pleasure just to go through the pages and scrutinise each line and word and hold it close to our hearts ?
