Have a Nice Day! - God

In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

Have a Nice Day! - God 

As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if in just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday.  But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.

When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy.

At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet.  I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead.  I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head.  You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. 

 You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.  After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show.  I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.

Bedtime – I guess you felt too tired.  After you said goodnight to your family, you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.  That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you.  I've got patience, more than you will ever know.  I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.

I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart.  It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.  Well, you are getting up once again.  And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you.  Hoping that today you will invite me in to share a little bit of the time with which I bless you.

Have a nice day!

Your friend,

GOD

 

        P.S. - Do you have enough time to send this to another person? If you aren't ashamed to do this, please share it with someone by telling the story, or printing it, or emailing it.  Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed of you before my Father."

        If you're not ashamed, pass this on... well, even if you feel a bit embarrassed, share it anyway!  Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and my Savior.  He keeps me functioning each and every day.  Without Him, I will be nothing.  Without him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
