How often do we hear Jesus saying to us (if we’re listening at all!), “Can we just talk?” “Can we hang out for a little while with nothing to do?” Or, “Can you put the book down, please?” Or maybe for a few of us, and I say this cautiously, “Would you put your Bible down and listen to me for a second?”

God would like to simply enjoy our company probably a lot more often than we make time for.

“I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me.

I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name.”

~Isaiah 65:1 

Oh how God wants to hear from us. To respond to us.

If only we’d give Him something to respond to!

How deeply He desires our attentive company.

How often He wants to interact.

But it takes two.

He has made the first earth-shattering moves: making us, and bringing us together through His Son.

Will you commune with God?

Will you talk with the Holy Spirit?

Will you simply hang out with Jesus?
