The history of caller ID was to ignore calls from unwanted
people. I am heartbroken to admit that I use caller ID and will not answer some
calls from people because I have nothing to say to them. I remember people
telling me that they didn’t
want to answer a call from them because they were about something they did or
said to or about them in the past.
When we pray to God, it is that same as calling God on our
spiritual cell phone. If you can put yourself in God shoes for a second, think
about how you feel when someone calls you over and over again nonstop. Our
reaction to that would be to blow them off, be made at them, get mad at them,
ignore them, and in the words of one of my friends put them on the “list”. Now
the difference is when we get a call we answer with an “Aw dang, now what?” or
a “What does this person want now?”, but when God gets our prayers He answers
first with a “Yes!!!!” then says “*Fill in your name* is calling me and wants
my help.” God answers our phone calls sometimes like Yoda
from the Star Wars series, but when we pray he hears us and wants to help us like any parent would.
My father is a great man. Once, he drove from Toledo to
Houston in one weekend at the request of my sister. He drove a car to my sister
and traded cars with her because her car did not pass the state inspection of
Texas. If you ever called my dad for help he would not stop until the problem
was fixed.
A father wants to hear the voice of his children. I know
when I call my dad he will always answer the phone because he wants to hear my
voice. Like our Father in Heaven I is always willing to answer out phone calls.
So, like me you’re asking “What can I do?” Easy, call the
person you have been avoiding. There may be a purpose of why they called. If you
spend hours talking to them, that is awesome. Which is worse, to lose a couple
of hours of your life to talk to someone and rekindle a broken relationship or
to lose a relationship and trust all together?
God has our best interests at heart.
