Psalm 66:20 ...but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!"
Sometimes we pick up the phone and the voice on the other end makes us smile because it's someone we just love to talk to, we love to hear their voice. Well, may I tell you that is how God feels about each one of His children. He loves to hear your voice too. Like any good father He enjoys talking to you and listening to what you have to say and share, whether it's our funny moments or our difficult ones.
Thinking about it, that's the essence of prayer isn't it? It's talking to God out of the good relationship He has with us because of Jesus. God is listening and He is ready to answer.
Jeremiah 29:12-13 ...Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you....
1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, ..
We need never doubt He's listening to us because His Word says He is. We all know we can bring our troubles to God but does God want to share our funny lighter moments too? Absolutely He does, just as much as our sighs. God just wants to hear all about our day, our ups and our downs. God is interested in all we do and think. And if He needs to help us to think differently about anything He'll come along side and do that too!
Do you ever ring someone up just to tell them about something funny that happened, to share a laugh with them? Of course you do because it spreads the joy of the moment and you relive it as you retell it. Well it can be no different with our Heavenly Father. He'd like to hear our laughter just as much as He cares to hear our troubles but so often we only go to talk to Him about our troubles!
Next time you have a giggle or laugh about something why not share it with your Heavenly Dad and give Him the pleasure of sharing in your joy as you tell Him all about it. After all, the God who made a kitten or a puppy has a sense of humour too!😊
