Conversation with God Two

Second day, back again. Here is the second in the series of conversations. Again, for myself, I am attempting to write the first thing that enters my mind, and for God, I am writing what I feel from the Spirit.

I want to do what I want.

I want you to want Me.

I want to be me.

I want that, too; that’s why I made you.

But I’m not like you.

Yes you are. Find yourself.

I am myself. How do I become not me?

The you I made is at war with the you the world has made.

How do I defeat him?

I am your ally. Hear me cheering you on.

How do I hear you?

Listen.

Again, dense with meaning. I am ashamed, because just doing this simple exercise makes me feel like I’ve never really listened to God. I can hear Him so clearly when I am listening. Only listening to him for five minutes out of the day seems wrong. But it’s a step forward, I suppose.

I am not the me that wants my own way. I am not he, and he is not me.
