Her Smile, His Power

Sometimes people do not communicate emotions and feelings. Perhaps their personality is emotionally detached because somewhere in their life they had to put up a wall to protect their heart.

This was my situation. God showed me how to overcome living with a person who was emotionally detached. When we hear what God has to say and obey it in dealing with our spouses, he will change the other person for our benefit, and in this process we are the better person too. I'm glad God knew exactly what he was getting when he made me. When we get married it's only what we think we are getting that we get. I'm so glad my God is big enough to fix anything.

Where there is silence, so is God.

You see, sometimes, when family and friends are around all the time, the noise keeps us from hearing God.

It is so easy to pick up the phone and say, "Guess what?" and tell someone about our day, or ask their opinion about something, perhaps just to have somebody listen.

Just like women do not want to share their husbands, so is our God.

We have a jealous God. He wants us to talk to him every day, even about the smallest things. And he has been so good to me. I know he certainly deserves my, "Guess what?"

Because he's always listening, even when we're not.
