The Art of Conversation

Conversation. Such a simple concept, so complex at times. Conversations can be deep or they can be superficial, loving or self-serving, heart-warming or coldly impersonal, compassionate or judgmental. 
Wherever you fit on the introvert/extrovert scale, conversation matters—it's the primary way of connecting with others.  Conversation is at the core of every relationship. 
So . . . . What conversations are you having with yourself?  What conversations are you having with others?  Most importantly, what conversations are you having with God?
Are you talking to Him about trivialities?  Are you speaking only what you think He wants to hear?  Or are you willing to have deep talks that both reveal and heal your heart?  
Talk to God today. Tell Him about your doubts and fears, your confusion and your desperation, your hopes and dreams. Tell Jesus where you've been hurt and where you've hurt others. 
Speak to Jesus—He's waiting to hear from you.  Then listen to Jesus.  Listen for His words of forgiveness, healing, direction, and power.  Listen to Him tell you how much He loves you, how He has always loved you. 
Pour out your heart to Jesus and let Him pour back into yours.
Focus Scripture: ‘ “I love You, O Lord, my strength.”  The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.   I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.’  Psalm 18:1-3
