"Why doesn't He talk to me?"


Aspen's number one question about God right now goes like this.

"Why doesn't God talk to me? God! Talk to me!"...pause..."See mom, I don't hear anything. Why doesn't he talk to me? Why can't I hear him?"


He's been bringing this up a lot, and boy is that a hard one to explain. Yes, God loves you. No, it does not mean that he doesn't love you if you don't hear him, but he doesn't talk like me and you. He talks to us in the Bible and through our thoughts.....


And you know, it really is a valid question. I've wondered the same thing myself.
After having this conversation with him, I often ask God to talk to Aspen in a way that he will know it's God talking to him.

these are definitely hard questions for our little ones, but even for us... Sometimes I feel that way too, especially when I need direction immediately (you know what i mean)? you will have to follow up with us, when Aspen does hear Him.

Aspen's question is a testament of your Godly teaching and lifestyle. Way to go raising a Godly son Wildes!
