Even When Nothing is Wrong
Looking down at my phone, I noticed a message from my son.
At work, I quickly texted him back and asked two things.
“Can I call you back?”
“Is everything ok?”
His response was sweet, but made me reflect on something beyond a mother / son conversation.
“Yea, can a boy not call his mama without something being wrong ?”
First, if you are the parent of an adult child, you know any communication is welcome.
It could be asking to watch the dog or asking how to make an appointment.
We want to be included in as much of our children’s lives as they will allow.
And that is the way it is with our God.
We don’t have to just call out to Him when something is wrong.
He wants to be a part of our everyday lives.
As much as we will allow.
The joy and pain.
The extraordinary and the mundane.
Our smallest worries to our biggest celebrations.
Every. Single. Thing.
My momma heart is always full any time my children call.
And I am always ready to listen.
Friends, you have a Father who is always willing to listen to you when you call.
Even when nothing is wrong.
“When you call on me and come to me in prayer, I will listen to your every word. If you reach out to me, you will find me when you search for me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:12-13 TPT
