A Daily Devotional Based On The Spiritual Classic He And I

Is it so difficult to talk with Me? Everything that interests you, every little detail of your life, tell me about it. I’ll listen with attention and joy. If you only knew…. Tell others to act with Me as they would with the intimate friend who knows all the secrets of their hearts.

11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.  (Exodus 33:11).

3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known. (Jeremiah 33:3).

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; (John 10:27).

O Lord, how wonderful that You want to talk to us just like intimate friends. And yes, it can be difficult to talk to You. We forget that You are Our Father who loves us! If we only knew how You wait for us to come to You, how You stand at the door and knock! (Revelation 3). O Lord let us encourage others to tell You every detail of their lives and to do so ourselves because You wait for us with attention and joy! As St. Teresa of Avila has said prayer is just an intimate sharing between friends!
