Vain repetitions go unheard! Matthew 6:7

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   Yesterday I talked about praying; going to a room, by yourself, and be alone with God.  Listen, talk, and fellowship with the LORD.  I do hope you did and ask for your prayers once again today.
   This next verse will ring a bell with you.  You know people like this, and many times we call them leaders or politicians.
   Matthew 6:7  talks about praying and being real.  You are talking to God; if you have trouble with that set a chair or some object in front of you and image that being Jesus and just talk to him.  Some people are of eloquent and impressive words and recite them, yet, they are hollow in meaning. Jesus tells us not to use vain repetitions as the heathen do.
    What do words do?  In our world here on earth words may sway someone to come to your way of thinking, to follow you, and do what you command.  However, this does not work with God.  Why? Doesn't God listen to me?  Yes, He does; however, God also knows your heart!  Is your heart red with the love and blood of Jesus; or black, thick and full of evil?
    I heard a man pray at a church potluck once who said, "and LORD, thank you for this grub, Amen".  It came from the heart - not of eloquent speech - but true heart.  Can you say this?
   Stay hungry for the word and thirsty for the Living Water my friend. 
Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
