Every Heart
God has more patience, grace and time
for us than a loving mother of a toddler with a tantrum.
“I am praying to
you because I know you will answer, O God.
Bend down and
listen as I pray.
Show me your
unfailing love in wonderful ways…” Psalm 17:6-7
There
is always a good occasion for payer with God, both early and late. We don’t
need to dress for the occasion, memorize or practice first what we should
pray. We can never bother God; He has all the time in the world for us.
If God had His
own Face Book page it would be filled daily with dozens of His favorite
pictures of us. His computer screen saver would have rotating photos of us from
the day we were born and of every to this very day. Let’s face it, let’s really
grasp and understand it deep in our hearts— God is crazy in love with us!
What does God
expect of you and me? Simply that we are sure to goof up and often want to give
up. We may forget God, but God never forgets us. A saint isn't someone who
never falls, but one who gets up, prays and gets up every time he falls down-
knowing God is there to pick us up again and again.
God never expects
perfection but simply to receive His perfect love for us and share it with
others.
We may lose
track of Him, but God never has, and never will lose track of us. He is eager
for the pleasure of our company, it was for this very reason we were born.
It matters not
what state we live in or the state of our mind. We need only whisper His Name
and know He is right beside us. God hears every beat, understands every
dream and desire of our heart.
Prayer is our personal
conversation with God no matter where we are, who we are with and what mayhem
is going on around us every heart which seeks Him always receives His full
and loving attention.
