Have you ever had a relationship where you were always the one making contact? A person doesn't feel very important or valued if the communication only goes one way. On the other hand, how special do you feel when someone takes the time to call you by name and speak to you? As believers, we have the privilege of communication with God Himself. It's. not one-sided, and He never ignores us or tunes us out. We find joy in knowing that God takes the time to speak to us and that He doesn't give up on us.
