"Pick Up"

As I was sitting in my house with some of my family, our conversation kept getting interrupted by the phone.  But, every time that I answered it, no one would talk.  I could hear someone breathing on the other end, but they wouldn’t talk to me or answer my questions.  After the fourth time, I was getting upset.  The most difficult thing for me to deal with was the fact that I couldn’t hear the person on the other end of the phone.  I knew someone was there, I just couldn’t communicate with them.  I was incredibly frustrated. Because many people never learn to talk to God, they feel the same way that I did that night.  They know someone is there, but they don’t know how to communicate.  In vain, they ask questions trying to get input, but because they have not taken the time to get to know God, they can’t discern His voice.  God is waiting to build a relationship with you that is defined by open and honest conversation.
