Caller Rejection

I keep getting phone calls from a 1-888 type number. About the 5th time they called, I decided to answer it, as maybe it was something important and not just a "sales pitch" that I had imagined it was. After being told to please wait for the next available representative as my call was important to them and thinking wait a minute, you called ME. Anyway I finally talked to a guy that sounded like he was SO VERY excited to be talking to me, he spoke in a monotone that had to have been practiced over and over because it was perfect. He addressed me as MR. Jacob, and proceeded to tell me how much money I owed to his collection company and ask me repeatedly how I planned on repaying him. I proceeded to tell him that I WAS NOT "MR. Jacob" and I had no idea what he was talking about. He then told me that this was the number they had on file for a Mr. Michael Jacob, in Tyler Texas and then gave me a address I never heard of. Over the next 5 or so minutes I tried to explain to him that I was not who he thought I was, he keep existing that I tell him my name and all kinds of private information of who I was so that he could "verify" I was not Mr. Michael Jacob. I did not give him any information, as I told him: "That is NONE of your business, just know I am not Mr. Michael Jacobs, and leave me alone" Then I hung up. Now about 3 to 5 times a day, this number calls me and I don't answer it, what's the use, they don't listen anyway, or this is just a big scam to try and get my private information. After about a week of ignoring these phone calls, I called my phone company to see what I could do about it. The very helpful and seemingly understanding representative, she did not speak in a monotone at all, but a very practiced concerned voice, that even though practiced, made me feel like she really cared, told me my best option was just to set up my phone to "Reject" this phone number. I asked her how that worked, and she help me set it up and told me now every time that number tried to call me they would hear a recorded message that basically said I did not want to answer their call because they were jerks. (Well, that was implied, not really stated.) Wow, I thought, that is really handy, and started thinking of phone numbers I could add to that list of "Rejected Numbers":) Have you ever felt like your annoying God? I mean 15 times a day you call His number up and complain about something, or maybe ask for EVERYTHING you can think of. Do you think this may be what God says when He sees the Caller ID in Heaven: "Oh NO, not her/him again!!"? Have you ever heard a recorded message when you start praying? "Oh Heavenly Father, I come to you this morning with a heavy heart, help me in this situation, please God",,,,,,,,,,,and before you can say another word a very monotone voice tells you that " Your call has been rejected, because you have been taking up to much of the Maker of the Universe's time" Please don't call again, unless it it is something important, thank you for Calling Jehovah your call is important to us, here in Heaven, have a blessed day". Of course not, God always has time for us, ALWAYS. When we call upon Him, He doesn't need verification of who we are, He KNOWS who we are, He knows what we need, He knows what we are calling about, before we tell Him. Sure God is God, He could set up an "Rejected Call" list if He wanted to, but He doesn't want to, He wants to talk to us, He wants to answer our questions, our concerns, our problems, and yes, even our complaints. Not only that, but He is waiting in anticipation for us to call Him. Did you get that? The maker of, well, EVERYTHING, is waiting in ANTICIPATION for US to call HIM. God NEVER dreads talking to us, His children. He wants to talk to us, why would He reject our calls, thereby rejecting us? No He is not that kind of God, He loves us more then any other of His creations. What have we done to deserve this kind of love and loyalty? Not a thing, He just love us, because that is who He is. "Caller Rejection?, Not available in Heaven"
