Amen

There are friends I have that know me so well that my intentions,emotions,needs and wants need very little words to convey.I might over explain myself to them on occasion but they're usually nodding after the first few words because they know me and my situation and have done for a long time.It seems the more intimate the relationship the less words need to be used.There's a great comfort and sometimes even fear in being known that well.

Then there is God with whom NOTHING is hidden and ALL is known.How many words would God need to hear? I sometimes think that many words simply repeated over and over again are almost an insult to the relationship.A relationship so intense with love that He laid down His life for our sakes.

God less you both for your posts

How many words would God need to hear?

Isaiah 65:24
Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.

Thank for your encouraging words. I imagine our Heavenly Father delights in our “being still and knowing that He is God”. Sometimes, it means NO words are needed as He knows our thoughts, our needs and the deepest desires of our hearts that NO ONE else knows about or can see.

God bless you, too, dear Mitch5501!
