I'm limiting God!!!

In my amazement at His messages, I wallow around chewing on them for hours and days.
Then this morning I realized how much I would love to hear from Him ALL THE TIME!  And my first thought was that I was asking too much.
Wow.  How we limit God.
Why do I know that I want to hear from Him all the time, but think that He doesn't want to talk to me all the time?  Why would I think He's too busy?  How silly is that?
He created us to have relationship with us.  And personally, I know that getting a message from Him is better than getting a message from anyone.  I love it.  I hold it and grasp it.  I marvel at it.  I'm thrilled by it.
I want more . . . and more . . . and more.
Today, I'm going to try to stay in His presence . . . which is actually another silly thought because His presence lives inside me and He's with me all the time.  So maybe it's better to say that today I'm going to try to invite Him to walk and talk with me every moment today.  Just like I would If I asked a friend to go shopping with me.  I would be aware of their presence and I would be making effort to communicate and share all during that time.  I wouldn't speak to my friend for a minute and let them speak to me for a minute and then just ignore them the rest of the day.  How awful!
Why would I do that to God?  Why would I think that He doesn't want that kind of relationship too?
I remember that song "I am a friend of God".  The Bible says so.
So, I'm going to treat Him more like a friend.
