For some unknown reason, my Dad's phone
receives everyone else's messages except mine. I can see his
messages, but he can't see my responses. It's frustrating, as
intended communication fails.
Many times I wonder if my
Eternal Father has received my prayers. I wait for responses that never
seem to come, so I silently conclude: “The message just didn't get
through.” So I pray again, secretly waiting for His...response.
“Ok, no response, but at least confirm receipt?” Silence.
Frustrating. Resigning. “Ok, I give up.” Was the message to Him
for intimacy of communication or for personal fulfillment? Am I the
child that continues to come with my desires or pouts when “feeling
ignored”?
The truth is, that He receives
absolutely every prayer; not based on His response, but based on His
love. The truth is, that He is responding to me by His heart long
before He responds to me through my circumstances. Sometimes He
answers immediately. Sometimes He answers intimately. Sometimes He
answers in silence. Sometimes He answers in scars. Sometimes He
answers in my favor. Sometimes He answers in my faith. Sometimes He
answers in my healing. Sometimes He answers in my hurt.
The truth is, He is always listening,
He is always receiving, and He is always responding. The question is
not His responding to me, but my responding to Him. Always.
