"Talk To Me"

"Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required." Psalm 40:6

What does the Lord want from us? What is the thing that gives Him the greatest pleasure and joy? Most would answer that it is our works, it is our service, it is our obedience, it is what we do for Him. Those things are part of our relationship with Him, but the thing that delights Him the most is our communion with Him. In other words, He loves it when we talk to Him.

One of the biggest complaints in most relationships is the lack of communication-- "he/she won't talk to me". People want to have communication. The Heavenly Father is no different. He wants you to talk to Him. He showed us that from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden when He would come down in the cool of the day and talk with Adam and Eve, that this is His desire.

I am not going to belabor the point this morning, but I will repeat it again-- He wants you to talk to Him! Take time today and every day to do so. It doesn't matter what you talk about or what you want to say to Him, He just loves hearing your voice.

Have a great day. The Lord loves for you to talk to Him, have you today?
