I dreamed I had an INTERVIEW WITH GOD.
"So, you would like to interview me?" GOD asked.
"If you have time," I said.
GOD smile. "My time is eternity... what questions do
you have in mind for me?"
"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 lose their health to make money... and then
lose their money to restore their 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 they would never die, and 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 parent, what are some of life's
lessons you want your children to learn?"
GOD replied, "To learn they cannot make anyone love
them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to
others."
"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."
"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 are people who love them dearly,
but simply do not yet know how to express or show their 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."
"Thank you 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 am here.
Always."
