I am almost certain that each one of us have at one time or the other, either ignored someone, or have been ignored by someone else! However, there are some kinds of ignoring that hurts! Take a look at the following:

1.If you talk to parents, spouses, children, teachers, students, employers, and employees, they will tell you that it’s very annoying when they ask a question and someone ignores them!

2.If you talk to any journalist, they will tell you that its very frustrating for anyone to refuse to provide for information when they are doing a story on a given subject or person!

3.If you talk to a young man under pressure from his parents to marry, he will sure tell you that there is nothing annoying as when they approach a girl to inquire if she can become a friend/future wife only to be ignored!

4.Have you ever written someone asking or inquiring about something! How did you feel when you waited, waited, and waited, without hearing a thing! Sometimes the only way to understand the hurt/pain, is if the same happens to you!

5.Certainly, the most annoying of all ,yes, even sinful, is when God comes knocking at the door of our hearts, and we stubbornly refuse to let Him in. Listen to how the beloved disciple-John- describes it,”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20)

Have you ever ignored anyone? Why? What about God?

Just a thought!
