Although I know he's joking, it's cool that someone refers to me as 'the one who talks to the Almighty', because there's truth in this. I do speak to God. He asks me, "have you talked to the Almighty today?" every time he sees me, which puts a ton of pressure on me even if he's merely teasing. I feel like I have a reputation to uphold, and if my answer to his question is "no, I haven't talked to Him today," I have this sense of letting not only him down, but God and myself, too.
It seems silly to me, but it means a lot and makes me want to strive to be something more than just another customer, another family member, another stranger, or another friend. This simple crossing of two separate souls is a moment to grow or a moment to let only myself down. That's the ultimate truth, the fact that I will let nobody else down other than myself.
I need to choose to challenge my faith by spending time with God every morning. That way, when this humorous man follows up by asking, "And what did He say to you?" I can boldly and unwaveringly respond with a truth I can be proud of. I know this isn't the basis of my prayer, but it is an encouragement for me to engage in more time being with God.
