Did you know that God
talks to you? He is always talking to you. Are you hearing? Are you listening
for Him?
I was praying the other
day and I heard in my heart Janis Joplin singing her famous “Take Another
Little Piece of My Heart,” and it made me laugh. God knows that I need humor
and joy in my life, and He sometimes uses what is familiar to me to teach me something.
I asked Him what that was about. And soon something was in my thoughts I would
never think up myself.
I felt like God was
saying “When you cry out to me for help, I will respond. When you give me a
piece of your heart, I will replace it with a piece of mine.”
We are made in the image
and likeness of the Godhead – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He wants to go
deeper with you. Can you imagine how I felt when I understood that every time I
sought God for help in my circumstances in the past, He was exchanging my heart
with His? His Spirit lives in those who have made Him their Lord. Our own
spirit is able to communicate with His Spirit. The Bible says that our prayers
are lifted up to God and the Holy Spirit presents them with utterances that God
will understand – even when we ourselves do not know what or how to pray about
something.
What a mighty God we
call Father.
Papa God – you can have another
little piece of my heart today, and tomorrow, and the next day.
