Will someone please listen to me? Psalm 66-68

God has not turned away my prayer!!! What a blessed thought. Others seldom listen to me. They often start to listen, but then, as I ramble on, they turn a deaf hear to my whining, my complaint, my request, or my inquire. It is hard to get someone who will just listen. But, in Psalm 66:20 we read, "Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me." The amazing part about this statement is that God listens and listens in love. He doesn't turn away and He doesn't just go through the motions. God gives us an attentive ear that is firmly connected to a loving heart. That may be the definition of true listening. When we are engaged with others and understand their frailty and their sin, but we still listen, than that is God like listening. He doesn't turn away from my constant groaning or from my awkward confessing or from my shallowing requesting. God listens to me and loves me. He gives me His full attention wrapped up on love. I rejoice in that.
