Communication Breakdown
by John Fischer
Lord Jesus, are we talking?
It seems like it’s been a while. My voice to You feels weak. There’s no doubt about my belief, but I guess believing doesn’t count as communication. (I think I’ve assumed that it does without really thinking about it.) I can believe in my wife and not talk to her for a week. How long has it been since You heard from me — really heard from me? If I have to ask that question, it must have been a while. Somehow I’ve got You doing nothing but waiting around to hear from me while I go about my business oblivious to our lack of communication. Like I’ve got more important things to do than You do. Ouch! That sounds pretty close to blasphemy, making me wonder how often I blaspheme You with my ignorant assumptions.
Is our relationship more important to You than it is to me? If it is, I am grossly overestimating my own importance. The issue is not whether You are on my side; the question is: am I on Yours? And only I can answer that. Am I centering my life on You? The fact that the lines of communication seem rusty right now indicates there is a lot of inequity here.
What do I need to do to get back in touch? What’s that? I’m doing it right now? You just want my attention and You’ll take it any way it comes — through joy, sorrow, confession, pain or the reestablishment of communication? That seems almost too easy. What’s that You’re saying? “Walk with me and work with me — watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly" (Matthew 11:29-30 The Message).
I think I’m getting it now. No matter how far I may have strayed away, it’s always a short trip back. The breakdown in communication was only on my part, never Yours. I don’t have to retrace my steps back to the last place I got off before I can hear You again, because You’ve been dogging me the whole way. As soon as I turn my heart and attention towards You, You are there to meet me because You never left.
Seems almost too good to be true. Where did I get the idea it’s supposed to be so hard?

Got your tag - thank you. All it takes is a phone call or an email. As I said in my message - I love you and I'm here when you are ready. I miss you! More importantly, God loves you and He doesn't keep score! I pray that you are going to Him daily - only He can fill you with what you need.

Ah Jamie, my heart breaks for you right now. Life is never easy, and it only feels harder when we hurt. You should listen to your profile verse Romans 12:1. God loves you so much (and so do I!!!!) that each time a tear drops from your lovely face He catches it and keeps in a jar. That's scriptural. Take heart dear one. We all love you very much, and long for a day that joy creeps back into your heart and suprises the dickens out of you!! Blessings - LJ

Hey honey! I love you so much but it pales in comparison to how much God loves you. I know you know that. You're hurting and it's ok to hurt, but I"m sorry that you are, and it's not ok that you are hurting, but we all do and it's a part of life. I go around in circles kind of like you were in your entry. It's gonna be ok. I"m here for you even though i'm miles away. God is the only One you need, and I know that's also hard to understand sometimes too. i love you and am praying for you. Just be smart and do the best you can reach out to someone who can help!

Hey! I hope everything is ok! We all do stupid mistakes sometimes. However, with prayer, He'll tell you what to do and things will work out. Just listen and obey. Let His will be done! God bless! -Hope-

Wow. I definitely know how you're feeling, and I'm so glad I found you. Well, I think you actually found me, but I'm glad I saw your name and decided to check out your diary. You are on my favourites list, and I think you will be a regular on my reading list. I gave up drinking, never really did much in the way of drugs, I haven't slept with anyone, but have seriously thought about it even in the past little while, and I've been cutting a lot lately as well. And cursing! I thought I was completely out of it, but I guess old habits die hard. I love how you said that your strongest emotion is fear, because I feel that very strongly as well. I could never really place my emotions, but as soon as I read your entry, I knew that that was exactly what I was feeling. I've been pushing all of my friends away lately, staying in my room all day reading, thinking, and cutting. I started counselling awhile back and stopped cutting for a few weeks, and I've started back up again, although I haven't told anyone about it. I don't want people to think I'm crazy and depressed again. Because I'm not. I'm not sad, angry, frustrated, or overly confused. I just feel like cutting is one thing I can do without having to compare myself to others. I don't look at other peoples' arms and say "Their cuts are deeper than mine," or anything like that, and so I don't have to worry about pleasing anyone. I just hide it all and hope no one finds out. I'm really sorry this was so long, I just started typing and couldn't stop. Hope to hear from you sometime! -Courtney

Blessings Jamie, I just read your entry about your friend and my prayers are with you (and his family). There are times when we must have more faith than other times, because we don't understand what God is up too. Trust in Him to heal your hurting heart. Trust that He has plans for the family at this difficult time. Blessings - LJ

Oh honey... I'm so sorry. I love you as a sister is Christ, Jamie. Never forget that. I don't know if you've read any of my diary lately, but I've been struggling with cutting for the past few months. Maybe you don't know me well enough for that to truly shock you. It certainly shocked everyone I know. It hurts so bad when people shun you for living in sin. I'm not going to say I agree with what you are doing - but I don't agree with the behavior I've indulged in either. But remember, we're all sinners, and while that doesn't excuse us, it does require us to still love people despite their shortcomings. Hang in there, sweetie. I've been really worried about you and praying about you every moment you come to mind (which is quite often!). :) I love you sweetie - always always ALWAYS remember that and that God loves you more than anyone could possibly imagine! God is waiting for you to come crawling back to Him - He never left me, even in my sinful behavior. He was right there, waiting for me to come back. He's waiting for you, too.
