Communication

Communication involves speaking. Not texting, not e-mails, not facebook. No communication is honest to goodness, face to face conversation. For example, asking a girl out over texting whether you wanted to or not, isn't gonna fly. Asking, goes a loonnggg way. So why is it that we chose to miss out on the experience of relationships? Doesn't communication ultimately form the foundation of relationships, friendships or otherwise? I think so. It hit me today at church, how we are to talk to people about Christ's love for us. So why do we avoid speaking? Is it the fact that actually getting a response, body language and all is intimidating? It shouldn't be! Language is a beautiful thing. I've studied two different foreign languages and it's so cool to see how connected everyone truly is. A little bit of Latin words here, some Greek and Hebrew over there. It's really cool to see how interconnected we are. That is a beautiful thing. So why not share with the world how God managed this? How amazing and lovely and gracious or God is? Because we fear rejection. It is frowned upon in any society. But it's not really rejection. Rejection seems so negative, it's more like a stumbling block. Rejection can be overcome by finding a different approach. So find a new way to approach others on how awesome our God is. After all, that IS why we celebrate CHRISTmas.
