One of the hardest things for me to handle is when people don't communicate. I am in no way, shape or form saying that I am awesome at communicating, but i know how important it is and why we need to do it. God did not give us a mouth just for eating, i'm pretty sure he wanted us to talk too! One thing that God has been teaching me through this Bible study book called Be Transformed, is that it is so incredibly crucial to know and understand yourself so you can better help the people around you know and understand you. When you know what your beliefs are you are better able to see how you came to that conclusion, and how to change your belief if need be. Not only that, but you're also opening up the door to God and asking him to show you the truth to that specific thing.
Communication with God is something that is super incredibly needed. He tells us multiple times in his word how he WANTS and DESIRES us to pray and talk to him. We do that because it is what he has asked us to do and it's helpful for us. There are so many people that i know that keep things bottled inside and don't just let it out. It's so hard to know what to do around those type of people because you know that something is going on but if they aren't telling you then you can't do much. and you know what, 55% of all communication is non-verbal. So when you think you're getting away with lying to someone, or keeping something from them, you're really not. All you're doing is hurting your relationship with them and you're hurting yourself.
If for some reason, you really don't want to communicate with people, then at least talk to God. Cause he'll listen and be understanding. People aren't always like that. Actually, most of the time they're not. But God is. He desires you to talk to him. So just start to communicate!
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thes. 5:16-18
