FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Love Means Listening; Message: How do you feel when you make a phone call, and a recorded voice answers and asks you to leave a message at the sound of a beep? Or when your phone conversation is interrupted by a call waiting, and your party asks you to hold while he sees if this call is more important than yours? What we really want is to have someone listen to us if they care. You know what i mean. You call long-distance to an international company overseas. You call and call, and finally get through. An operator says, Hold on, please. After a long wait, the operator comes on the line again and says, May i help you? So you tell the person that you would like to speak to Mr Green. Who is calling? You give the operator your name. Hold on, please. Finally you get to mr Greens office. May i speak to mr Green? I am sorry sir, he is away from his desk. May i take a message? Does this sound familiar? Think about that in the light of Gods remarkable promise in Jeremiah 33:3. Call to me and I will answer you. No hold buttons. No busy signals. Never an interruption by someone more important than you. You have His attention everyday, all day, day and night. Because God loves you, He pays attention to you. He listens when you talk to Him. Brother or sister, that is the example for us with our families. When your child calls, please answer. When your spouse wants to talk to you after you are home from work, talk, and listen! It takes such a little effort, and it pays such big dividends. Meditation: Gods ear is always open to the person who earnestly seek Him. Prayer: Lord, thank You for inviting me to talk to You about everything. Give me keen ears to hear Your response. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed, Amen. Qouted Verse: After reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent word to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak. Standing up, Paul notioned with his hand and said: Men of Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! Remain blessed.
