Conversing with Our Creator

I just had a one-way conversation with my little cousin and aunt in Vietnam. He missed me so much, that despite the fact he knew we really couldn't have much of a conversation, he just wanted to hear my voice. I knew EXACTLY what they were saying, and I wanted SO BADLY to respond, but I just could not get the right words out. I would speak in phrases, choppy sentences, and with wrong accents that weren't even comprehendible, yet they still remained on the phone with me just to hear my voice and tell me stories just to hear me laugh. I got off the phone crying tears of joy, and at the same time, a deep resolve overcame me to learn the language so that I can have a TWO-way conversation with them, thus developing our relationship so I can grow CLOSER to them...

This brings to mind the very conversations I have with God, my very own Creator. Who else knows us more than the One who Created us BEFORE we were even set into our mothers' wombs? He knows us SO well, that when we spend time with Him in spirit and in truth, we don't even have to speak a word for Him to know our hearts inside and out. And yet, as we remain dwelling in His presence, He covers us with a joyful, everlasting love. Just like my cousin and my aunt, God doesn't care whether or not we know His language or can speak His language at the moment, He just wants to know that we're willing to pursue Him and put this time aside to show Him that we love Him and enjoy being with Him. And as long as our hearts are yearning, we will always walk away overjoyed by Him. And even as we part, our hearts develop a renewed and never-ending hunger for Him... a desire to develop in relationship and to grow closer to our Father in Heaven, with hopes that the next time we meet with our Father, it will be a TWO-way conversation as well...
