Rearranging Preferences

To say I've been a bit restless this evening is an understatement. I think I've checked my phone at least hourly. And no, I'm not expecting any important messages... In fact, I haven't even contacted a soul. I'm just...bored. And so I found myself staring at my notification centre.

Visibly lacking the coveted notifications. Why aren't people "talking" to me...? 
I'm inclined to protest the injustice of the situation, when I am suddenly and altogether silenced. 

So you prefer superficial human chats?

 Above intimate conversation with the King of the Universe?

My heart is pounding. Did I just hear right? Is this how far I've let things go?


A stern rebuke. But much needed. 

And because it comes from no other than He, it is so much more than that. 
He chastens because He loves. 
And so I will embrace it, running into the arms of my only Hope. 
When He cuts, it is to heal.
