keep talking to God

10/11/2014

I don't worry so much about folks who are shaking their fists and yelling at God, because I believe any conversation with our Maker is a move in the right direction.

What does make my heart tender are those who have decided that the God they cannot understand is a God not worth considering.  When I think of how my understanding of God has changed as I have grown older I find this quite confusing.  Do folks want a God they can understand when they are 30 or 50 or 70?  My understanding of about everything has been changing over the decades and I'm pretty sure a God I could have fathomed in my 30s would be pretty puny compared to my current relationship.

So, whether you are a shouter or whisperer, weeper or pleader, Bible scholar or rookie seeker, keep talking to God and pause occasionally to listen to the challenges of your heart. It is a journey worthy of your persistence but you don't have to worry about style or eloquence or form--just talk about anything and everything. You are a beloved child of God, warts and all.  God is longing to be in conversation with you.

Luke 18:1 
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to teach them that they should always pray and never become discouraged.
