Chatting Over Coffee

Lately I have been speaking to a lot of people on the phone. I actually don't like talking on the phone, but it being my easiest form of communication I put up with it. I would rather sit down with someone over a cup of coffee and chat.

Many times I am the same way with God. I love hearing from God, but oh wouldn't it be wonderful to sit down over a cup of coffee and just chat. I take for granted at times what an incredible event it is when He does just call me. God speaking to man. Even in the times when I would rather not hear what He had to say, I am amazed of His wisdom.

It is frightening though when He calls. I can not hide from what He says because any argument would be utterly demolished and then I'm faced with the choice to either obey or disobey. Sadly, I can't say that I always choose to obey, but when I do, even in the decisions that go against what I want, there is such joy and peace. I don't understand how making a decision can bring such an overwhelming amount of peace. Nothing happened except for a decision, no outcomes, no real progress forward, nothing except for the decision to obey. Without that joy and peace after a decision I think my world would crumble. Joy and peace are God's hands reaching down, patting me on the back, giving me a high five, or carrying me through the mud.

Who wouldn't answer His call if joy and peace was the outcome?
