A Letter From God
Dear Friend,
As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was 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 decide upon 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 to 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 which is why you didn't. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly 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. You may have mumbled a few words in my direction like you always do - but you didn't think about them.
It's okay. You may not realise that I am always here 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, a prayer, a thought, or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. Once again I will wait with love overflowing just for you... hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!
Your friend,
God
I stumbled across this and I think it is such a brilliant reminder of what Ephesians 6:18 says: pray in all occasions with all kinds of prayers
. Amen! May I do that until the day I die :D (and I can't wait until then either).
