God speaks

[DPMartin]

God speaks; who listens? God is alive; who cares? Unless it be for their own benefit.

Is God there for our prosperity? Or are we here for His prosperity? And just what is it, that the Lord God is pleased with? If the Lord says that we should not come to Him empty handed, then what is it that we should have for Him in our hand?

God is infinite love. And from that love within the eternal Godhead we were created. Why? We can only know that God reveals His love and that it pleases Him that we can respond to His love. God does not need us but He wants us. What should we give Him? Well Jesus answered that for us when He gave His life for us. God gives us our lives in a small blip of time in order that we can say that we love Him back and then spend eternity with Him.

So, our hands should be filled with everything and anything that can express our unlimited appreciation for the gift of our lives and our having the opportunity to share in His… teachccd

nice, very nice

But my question to you is this. If one loves some one don’t they hear the one they love and speak only truth to the one they love? Doesn’t one want to hear, more then say? And in one’s trust in the one they love respond to what they say to them trusting that what is said is the truth?

If there be no response in trust, to what is said, how can there be true love?

The premise of your question escapes me. Please forgive me but I am not sure how your question applies to our relationship with God. Yes, by all means, a relationship of love includes the fullness of trust. Anything outside of that trust is a lie and cannot be part of the love within that relationship. Your question “does one want to hear more than say?” is relative to any given situation. Sometimes we need to talk and sometimes we need to listen. That is what relationship is all about. It’s about a give and take and it’s like a piece of music where there are notes and rests. The silence in the music is all part of the song.

Yes, trust must presuppose truth or else it is a false sense of dependancy. So, true love starts in the heart and is expressed in our actions and those actions must be directed towards the total well being of the one we love…teachccd

If this was not what you asked, I’m sorry and please ask again…

Why should it escape you? If you agree and understand that a loving relationship is such that one can have with another person then why would it not apply in one’s relationship with the Living God, God your Father who is in Heaven, through His Word our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

It would and now that you made the clarification I can see the parallel. Thank you and God bless…teachccd
