Would You Like to Speak with God? ...

I remember when I lived with my parents, there were people that we were pleased to have them visit us because their conversations were pleasing.

What is it that we don’t like about God, that we do not want to speak with Him?

The apostle Paul in exhorting the brethren saying “Pray without ceasing” (1st Thessalonians 5:17). If you were to ask me: “Why should I want to speak with God?” Because of what He offers us that no one else can give us.

For example when the president of the United States is being inaugurated, the one in charge of the prayer, tries to impress the multitude, but the result is that he is speaking with God. Think about when a baby be

Think about when a baby begins to say his first words. I ask you: Do you tell him I do not understand what you are saying or do you to see what he is trying to say?

Do you believe that an almighty God is not going to understand? I end with this question: Do you like to speak with God?
