Can I get some Attention?

We have all seen the child who is "hell bent" on getting attention from their parents or the other shoppers and witnessed in a grocery store. But the truth is many of these "spoiled" children lack the right kind of attention and so are opting for some kind of attention.

We all want attention. Whether it is the stare of an attractive single peer across a room or the eye and heart contact of a spouse as we explain our day. Everybody likes to matter.

When you get down to it, Love is attention. Attention is connection. When two lovers make love if they really connect emotionally it is because they are attentive to the needs and desires of their Other. When two friends connect emotionally or in conversation, it is because the two of them are really listening and attentive to each others words and feelings. When God is attentive to our heart cries and prayers, it is then we feel and experience his love.

Do you need some attention. Then ask for it. Be clear with God and others. Can I get some attention. Sometimes people are distracted and may not realize that they are absent or inattentive.

God is always present and attentive, all one needs to do to recieve attention from God is to set their attention on him.
