An Interview With GOD

I came across this posting on a website and thought of sharing it with you guys. The author is unknown.

I dreamed I had an INTERVIEW WITH GOD

" So, you would like to interview me?" GOD asked.

"If you have time," I said

GOD smiled. " My time is eternity.... what questions do you have in mind?"

"What surprises you the most about humankind?"

GOD answered....

" That they get bored with childhood, that they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. "

"That they loose thier health to make money .... and then lose thier money to restore thier health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."

"That they live as if this life will never end, and then die as though they had never lived."

GOD's hand took mine... and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked, "As a father, what are some of the life's lessons you want your children to learn?"

GOD replied, " To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. "

"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that there is more satisfaction is giving than recieving."

"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show thier feelings."

"To learn that two people can look at the same thing, and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."

"Thankyou for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"

GOD smiled, and said...."Just know that I love you and I am here for you..... Always."

Have You Ever Been swallowed by a Whale?

Have You Ever Been Swallowed Whale?

What a funny question to ask. I am sure everyone of you will answer No. But think about it a little bit more. On Sunday our pastor was teaching about a guy who was forced to spend some time inside a whale, and maybe to some of us it seems impossible that we would ever be so fortunate :-) . But it all depends on our decision.

I can still remmember how I was called to the principles office in school , cause I 'decided' to disobey. It wasn't a pleasant experiance and infact something I would like to forget. Think about it...... I DECIDED to disobey. Obedience or disobedience is a decision we make. And the consequences of this decision is faced by us. Jonah made a decision to disobey and he paid for it.

Which brings me back to my initial question. Have you ever been swallowed by a whale?
