Keep the Conversation Going

As believers have you asked yourself, "Am I talking with God about the things I should?" God doesn't want us to become so guarded in our conversation with Him that we are uncomfortable and unable to discuss everything respectfully. We can relax because God has already compensated for our conversations that go astray. Romans 8:26-27 Amplified Bible says, "So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance. And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will."

Even if we are on the wrong subjects God is always on the right subject. And not only that if we are pursuing Him, He will make sure we become increasingly like Him. God is for us. He wants goodness for us.

Satan, our enemy, however, likes to accuse us of doing things wrong. God does correct us. He doesn't condemn us.

A Nigerian proverb says, "One should keep one's eyes on one's destination, not on where one stumbled." For believers our destination is to grow in relationship with God.

Reject condemnation. Keep on talking and cooperating with God.
