Dust, leprechauns, books, and prayer

There are those friends who you can just sit with and not say a word, yet there is never awkwardness in the air. Simply put, you are so close that you don’t have to talk. Then there are those times where you know someone so well that you can just look into their eyes and hear a thousand words from them, even when they aren’t saying a thing.
I think that God wants to be this way. God wants us to “look him in the eyes” and hear his voice. He wants us to simply sit with him and hear him speak volumes to us. Or, maybe he just wants us to sit with him and be present. You know, God needs company too.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.” If we desire that close relationship with God, or maybe I should say any relationship with God, we first have to empty ourselves and admit that we cannot make it without him. Simply put, we exist inasmuch as he allows to exist. Without him, we truly are nothing. Without God, there is nothing. Without God, there is no thing.
All he wants is to ask you how your day is going.
