Communication

In a world which excels in communication, it is interesting that our communication skills are often lacking. From layer to layer in administrative structure, the failure of communication is commonly the cause of misunderstanding and major complications.

Have you found yourself on your mobile or cellular phone saying, "Can you hear me now?"

How about the parent that says,"Are you listening to me?" or the teen who says to the parent, "You don't understand!"

Here's the good news. God hears more than your words. He knows your meaning. Want to hear Him? Try getting a little closer.

2 Peter 3:18 (CEV)
18 Let the wonderful kindness and the understanding that come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ help you to keep on growing. Praise Jesus now and forever! Amen.

So true to life, and an important reminder not to become 'impersonal' in our communications with others as we increasingly rely on the advancement of modern technology.
The personal approach always win outs in the end!

A terrific verse- the wonderful kindness and understanding from the Lord Jesus Christ help you to keep on growing. Exceptional word from the Lord today.
And from the God who reads between the lines of my life and breaks through when I don't hear very well and patiently waits until I am ready to listen, I celebrate His active example to keep listening to people, keep reaching, keep trying.
What an inspiration you are today.

Embrace and enjoy your day!
