We need to talk

A thought crossed my mind yesterday. I have felt lonely. I need to talk to someone. But yesterday, I realized that with God it is the same way.

God has all the nature of love. He is FULL of love. This is why he sent his son - Jn 3:16. And just as we would want to talk to someone whom we love, so also, God wants to talk to us. He watches us, his beloved children every moment seeing us ignoring him. He wants only to talk to us.

Prayer is not a means to go higher in Gods eyes. That is only a consequence. Prayer happens because we need to talk to the one who loves, just as we would want to talk to a person we love. When I think of prayer this way, the doors to pray open readily.
