Advertising is one way to sell your product. Ads are in magazines, on TV and radio and on the side of the road. But these ads are not targeted ads – they go out to everyone, so companies have found better and cheaper ways to make a sale. Rather than put out an ad that goes to many people who have no interest in the product, the ad goes directly to a targeted consumer. These are called “direct mailings” and “direct calling”. We also know these ads as “junk mail” and “telemarketing”. But they are effective because the company thinks there is a higher likelihood that you have an interest in their product, so more sales for the amount of effort. The key is that the seller has found a way to talk directly to the consumer.
Well, there’s a more effective way to get a message to God. First, what is it you want to say? Maybe a request for help; maybe a shoulder to cry on. Are you looking for sympathy, understanding, someone to listen without interrupting? Do you need someone who really understands and can still help?
Find a quiet spot and turn your thoughts to God. Remember the sacrifice of His son Jesus. God loved us enough to sacrifice His Son. And His Son knew the pain and sorrow of this world. Let out your troubles to Him. Lay down all your burdens at His feet. His peace comes quietly. He really does understand. And then let Him give you the strength to go on.
Go ahead. Make a direct call. Talk directly to the One who can help you. Call now!
