Lately I've been thinking about how I want my relationship with God to be deeper. I certainly know alot about God, and I know what God has in store for me. But our conversations tend to be slightly lop-sided.
Me: God, please help me to live like Jesus did. Help me to know what your plan is for me, and follow it.
God: *silence*
Me: And thanks for everything you do for me. You're an awesome God, you know.
God: *silence*
Me: Well, I have to go now. Amen.
And that's how most of our conversations go. It would make it easier if God had a facebook, I think. But the poor guy would have such a huge amount of updates, he wouldn't have time to put anything on his status! I think the key isn't to just "listen" for God (in other words, sit for 5 seconds without saying anything). I think that God speaks through the silence, but he also speaks through other people and the Bible. There really is a reason we need to be good listeners. So I've resolved to be a better listener, and let God to the talking.
