Have A Little Talk With Jesus

There will be times that we want to have a conversation with someone who does not seem to share the same sentiment. Perhaps not exactly a declaration of love, but certainly a declaration of interest. You feel something about this person and you want to let them know how you feel in hopes you will find they feel the same about you. You hope against hope that the unreturned phone calls, the unanswered emails and the blank looks are not really communicating messages contrary to what your heart is declaring. What to do when the one you want to talk to appears not to want to talk to you?

Have a little talk with Jesus and tell Him about your troubles.

You had a major fight with your best friend and ugly things were said. At the time, you were too proud to apologize and to be honest, you were in no mood to accept one if they offered one. But now, you miss your best friend and you have swallowed your pride. If you could just get them on the phone, you now realize that you would have much to say. But your friend is not ready to communicate with you. What’s next?

Have a little talk with Jesus and tell Him about your troubles.

A private conversation or rather argument has erupted between your conscience and your desires and you can’t find anyone to talk some spiritual sense into you. You feel quite vulnerable right now and you need a spiritual ally to help you get back on track. In your mind, you believe that no one truly understands what you are going through. With no one to open up to, to whom do you turn?

Have a little talk with Jesus and tell Him about your troubles.

We know that Jesus is someone we should be talking to at all times. But being human with our individual vulnerabilities; sometimes we go everywhere but to Him when tough times come our way. Jesus has the capability and also the willingness to make our good times better and our bad times good. Let’s stop making our singleness harder than it has to be. Let’s make a habit of continuously having a little talk with Jesus.
