Last night I had the JOYful surprise of seeing an old friend that I had not seen in some time! It was such a pleasant "gift"....just to spend time with her and catch up a little on what's going on with her and her family. There was such a sweet connection between the two of us that we were able to pick right up where we last "left off". That's a true friend, isn't it?
Sometimes we stray from God....not that HE went anywhere! But we make choices at times which distance us from the things of God. We get so busy doing "urgent" things that we forget what's truly important: OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!
Maybe we should remember that prayer is simply talking to God and sometimes that has to be as we are driving or sitting in the doctor's office or even grocery shopping! You see, our Friend is always with us. All we have to do is call on His name. He will be there to pick up right where we last "left off".
You know what I've discovered? That each time I have a really good talk with God, I am filled with a NEW JOY!!!! "Try it! You'll like it!!!" the old slogan used to say! Get ready for NEW JOY with your OLD FRIEND.....as you "have a little talk with Jesus" today!
