In this world, countries are led by kings or queens or presidents or by those that are dictators in everything but actual name. in nearly all of these cases, to actually have a conversation with a king or queen, is something that for the common person is not going to ever happen, though, because they are public figures, one may have the opportunity to see a personage such as that in person, but an actual conversation, done over coffee, or even over a phone, is not going to happen.
Alas, this means for virtually all of us, that we will never be able to engage in any meaningful dialog with the most powerful luminary in our nation, but, in the scheme of things, even though we are not able to -- the bottom line is that it probably doesn't matter all that much. After all, no matter the title, and no matter how valuable this notable may appear to be, they are not only fallible, but they aren't really going to in all likelihood be able to effectively address any of our personal issues, because they really don't know us, in a manner that would permit them to.
Imagine though, that in this world, there is a being, that is always available to us, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and not only is available, but knows everything about us; and in fact, actually knows us better than we know our own self. This being is infallible, omniscient, and cares about each one of us, no matter where we are in life, without qualification or condemnation. Of course, this is our Creator, of which this Creator, hears and listens to each of our prayers so made, and is never too busy for us, as well as always being available to engage with us in a conversation, in which, if we are able to successfully quiet our active mind, we are able to thereby hear the words of God in the stillness of our being.
God not only listens to us, but God speaks to us, and if we would only listen for those precious words from the very lips of God, as opposed to allowing the hurly-burly of this world, or other distractions and manmade escapes to get in our way, we would be able to have the most meaningful conversation of our life. God is truly the only King that matters, for God, alone, knows us, and from that knowing, God is our ever present help in all situations, not necessarily as a means to alleviate us from the perils of every dilemma, but rather God is there to allow us to perceive both perspective and wisdom from whatever that it is, that we are facing, good or bad, so that we are not ever abandoned or alone.
Many a person has cried out that God does not listen to them, or that God is not there for them, or various other vociferous complaints about what appears to be an indifferent God; but the mistake that is made, or the paradox thereof, is that while God is ever present and is therefore everywhere, the finding and the uniting with God in conversation or similar, is an art, that necessitates unwavering faith, dedication, purpose, calmness, and a belief that one will not fully rest until one is completely there and is thereby one with the only One, and hence the only King that matters.
