Persevering Paige

My sister called me a few days ago. I answered the phone by saying, “Hello?” only to not be answered back by her. I repeated my hello again, still no answer. The third time I said hello, I was again not answered. By the fourth time I said hello I was basically yelling into the phone at her, in a way saying, “HELLO? Are you there? You called me?!” She finally said, “Paige?” At this point I was like, “Yes???” She said, “That was so scary. I didn’t mean to call you and I didn’t know I accidentally had. I just heard your voice in the distance and was trying to see if you were here.” I started laughing. This experience, like many of mine usually do, provoked some thinking. I thought about how Jesus probably feels the way I was feeling in that moment a lot more than we can imagine. When we call on Him, and he tries to answer us but we are too busy…too occupied to hear him. So he is there, waiting just as I was, for us to just take the time to stop and listen… If we do we just might hear what he has to say. Don’t be afraid to listen.
