One Way, Jesus. Two ways, Communication.

So I was just chewing on a late dinner of rice and helpings of dishes at the local foodcourt one Friday evening, when I received a new message from the spirit. Yes. At the foodcourt. At dinner. Oh well, who am I to question his logic and reasoning. All relations, whether your friends, your cousins, your parents, or rather, all good ones require communication. And it has to be two way. Not one way, never heard of three way either. Feel free to educate and enlighten me if you want to anyway. In this manner, you not only receive, but also give. After all, who doesn't like to be listened to? Whether it's telling your family about your day's work and activities, or a teacher giving advice from life experience to sometimes uninterested students, or a father telling his son about his stories (Still trying to show interest as much as possible, to be honest, honesty is important, please don't shoot me here). It's not just where someone shares for a few seconds, but gets often interrupted by those who are suppose to listen but start discussing among themselves before allowing the speaker to continue. Hey, admittedly, though I often keep to myself, I do like to enjoy a conversation or two. But for a couple of months, I rarely read the bible or listened to God's word through sermons or testimonies. It can't just be one way where I only pray to let God know about what's been going on for my life. Hey, if my earthly father wants me to listen to him, and respond to hims rather than let him have a monolouge (Hey, I'm still trying to make myself interested enough in order to generate genuine and creative replies) (Two-way, not one-way, remember?), why not my heavenly father who created us in his likeness. Our God created us so as to love us and for us to love him. If two-way communication is required to build strong earthly bonds, why not so in this two-way relation between God and us?
