GOD LISTENS TO YOU - Max Lucado
"You and I live in a loud world. To get someone’s attention is no easy task. But when someone’s willing to silence everything else so he can hear us clearly, it’s a privilege. A rare privilege indeed!"
"You can talk to God because he listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. No need to fear you’ll be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, it impresses God—and he listens. Intently, carefully. Your prayer on earth activates God’s power in heaven."
"As Scripture says, “Thy will is done on earth as it is done in heaven.” The prayers are honored as precious jewels. You may not understand the mystery of prayer; you don’t need to. But this much is clear: actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth. What an amazing thought!"
From Mike: An article online this week encouraged parents not to teach their children about religion. The author believes that religion puts too much pressure on them maintain certain standards. Heaven forbid that we expect people to live up to God's standards!! We need to take Max's comment to heart and pray: "But this much is clear: actions in heaven begin when someone prays on earth.
