What If

What if all you know life to be was over in an instant. What if you woke up one day and couldn’t speak and couldn’t move. You’re not dead, but you feel that you might as well be. You can’t care for your children, you can’t work, you can’t go to church, and you can’t talk to your best friend and tell her what you’re feeling. Basically, everything you take for granted is useless now. Nothing is as it was, nothing is as it should be, and nothing seems to be the word that describes you now. All that is around you is different, but God is still there. He is the only one that sees your tears, He is the only one that knows what you’re feeling, and He is the only one you can communicate with.

I think that is where God wants us sometimes. We tend to reach out to Him most when things around crumble. If everything is removed from your life, you have nothing more to do than to speak to Him. Notice, that’s really all you can do at that point. But, don’t you think God wants to talk to you now also, when your life is good, or normal? More than you know.
