Who have you talked to today?

You're right; that is what I asked.

Who have you talked to today? 

Do you not tell anyone who you talk to, whether via email or chat or phone call or even real life? Or would you just rattle off the answer for me, were I to ask it of you in person?

Have you talked to anyone today? If I really asked you that question, would you look at the ceiling and hem and haw for a moment before responding, "Well, not really anyone..."? Or would you fire a long list of names back at me with enthusiasm? 

Maybe I should ask the question like this: Whose life have you made better by talking to them today? Have you made anyone smile? Laugh? Have you just sat and had a good conversation with anyone? Have you encouraged someone? Wiped tears from their eyes, as it were, and pointed them Heavenward? Who have you talked to today?

There's something about talking that we as humans can't get along without--we seem to need to talk, no matter how introverted we may be, there comes a point when every one of us will NEED to talk to someone. Talking is apart of our nature; we learn to talk, and then never stop. Like the quote that says "People who don't know me think I'm quiet; people who do wish I was!"... All of us have a need to talk at some point in our lives. 

What about God? Does He have a need to talk? 

God said "Let us make man in Our own image." We are made in the image of God.

And too, in Psalms 5:3, David promises God "my voice shalt Thou hear in the morning."

Does God want to hear you talking to Him? Does He want to hear you talking to others?

God wants to hear you sing, the song says. God wants to hear you talk, too. He wants you to talk to Him as if you were talking to your very best friend; the one person on Earth you would share almost anything with. He wants to be your Confidante, your Friend, your Father. He wants to be intimately connected with you even more than you want to be connected to those around you that you care about. He loves you. How much simpler can it be? 

So, who have you talked to today? Whose life have you made better so far? Anyone? 

How about God's?
