Sometimes it takes more than one day for God to teach me His lessons. He likes to wait for me to write down the first half before teaching the second half because I am likely to botch the whole lesson if given the whole thing at once :D
I talked about the struggle between being a child and a master yesterday. This struggle is actually more like an awkward silence between you and God. Sometimes we need a moment to think before we can say anything intelligent.
Like the relationship between day and night, the relationship between child and master is inextricably linked. One is form, the other formless...ice and water...stone and sand. The child state is non-knowing, like a blank page. That of the master is all-knowing, but only within defined boundaries. The two states constantly transform from one to the other. In the physical world the transformation requires waiting, but inside the soul the transformation is instantaneous...and continuous.
When you can get past the awkward silence, your conversation with God flows. You hear Him best when all your hearts are open as a child; and He hears you best when you speak to him with the heart of a master.
