CHAT WITH GOD

 

God: Hello. Did you call me?

Me: Called you? No. Who is this?

God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am
in
the midst of something.

God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic.
It's rush hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you
results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was
not
expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God: Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you
some
clarity.  In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium
you
are comfortable with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it.  Analysis is what makes it
complicated.

Me: Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. 
You
are worrying because you are Analyzing.  Worrying has become your
habit .That's why you are not happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty...

God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction.  Gold cannot be
purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't
suffer. 
With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?

God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the
test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be
free from problems?

God: Problems are
P urposeful
R oadblocks
O ffering
B eneficial
L essons to
E nhance
M ental
S trength.
Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance,not when you are
free
from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we
are heading...

God: If you look outside you will not know where you are
heading.Look
inside. Looking outside, you dream.  Looking inside, you awaken. 
Eyes
provide sight.  Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in
the
right direction.  What should I do?

God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a
measure as decided by you.  Knowing the road ahead is more
satisfying
than knowing you rode ahead.  You work with the compass. Let others
work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you
have
to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?

God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?"  When they prosper, they
never ask "Why me?"  Everyone wishes to have truth on their side,
but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.

God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to
be.
Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here.  Create it. Life
is
not a process of discovery, but a process of creation.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?

God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with
confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God: There are no unanswered prayers.  At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.  I am so happy to start the
New
Day with a new sense of inspiration.

God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear.  Don't believe your
doubts
and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to
resolve.  Trust me.  Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

 

 

Hello God

 

 

 

Hello God, I called tonight To talk a little while I need a friend who'll listen To my anxiety and trial.

 

You see, I can't quite make it Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me, So I'll never feel alone.

 

I want to ask you please to keep, My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence For whatever fate they're bound.

 

Give me faith, dear God, to face Each hour throughout the day, And not to worry over things I can't change in any way.

 

I thank you God, for being home And listening to my call, For giving me such good advice When I stumble and fall.

 

Your number, God, is the only one That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal, Never had to pay a dime.

 

So thank you, God, for listening To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You, too, And I'll call again tomorrow!

 

 

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
