Why Are You Calling?

"Call me, and I will answer you"- God (Jeremiah 33:3)

Most of us know that when we give God a call that He will answer. But have you ever thought about what you give God a call about? I don't know about you, but through the years I have dreaded getting phone calls from certain people, because the only time they ever called was if they wanted something from me. Have you ever known someone like that? Do you remember what it felt like to only hear from someone when they wanted something?

And what about personal conversations? Some people won't give you the time of day until they need something. And when all of a sudden they enter into a conversation with you, you know it's because they're working up to asking you for something. How does that make you feel?

Fortunately, God usually blesses us with people in our lives that truly care about us, and who do not only call us or converse with us when they want something. So I guess the question is, what kind of a friend to God are you? I'm sure you've felt the hurt or disappointment at one time or another in your life when you wanted to be someone's friend, thought they wanted to be yours, and found out that you were being used in some way. What do you think that feels like for God, who has given His all to have a relationship with us?

How about give God a call today, or sit down and have a talk with Him, and make it all about Him, and not about you. Ask Him, how He's doing. Give Him the opportunity to tell you about His hurts, and His dreams. And then before you end your conversation, Ask Him if there's anything you can do for Him.

Yours in Him,
