We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19
How to Pray without Ceasing
4. Tell Him what He already knows.
When my first child was in kindergarten, I realized that although I had a pretty good idea what she did at school, I didn’t need to know the details. But when she told me about how she and Jacob played at recess or laughed as she tried to tell me the story her teacher read that day, it deepened my connection with my daughter. I got to see her life through her eyes, and I reveled in her unique perspective. Of course, God already knows what’s in our hearts—but when we offer our thoughts to him, it turns what might be a solitary life into a richer, more meaningful relationship. And I think God delights in this.

God wants a relationship with us.
But to have that, we need to really connect with him.
Even though he knows everything there is to know about us, he wants us to talk to him as if he were sitting with us in the flesh listening to us as if he were our very best friend.
Because he is. Our very best friend.
And what does a best friend do?
He listens to us.
And he loves us.
Why?
Because he first loved us.
So friend to friend, talk to him. Thank him. Tell him your problems. Tell him about your day.
Ask him for his help.
And tell him how much you love him.
Because he is there. Waiting and listening for your voice.
Wanting that one-on-One relationship with you.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. God bless!
