Did You Get The Right Message?
I believe in writing my own blogs. It is very rare that I use others materials. Mainly because it is their ideas and their beliefs. Today a friend sent me a text that I wanted to share because the message is so powerful. I am not here to tell anyone what to believe. This is one of those stories that you listen to the message and don’t kill the messenger. What I mean by that is, leave your religious beliefs out of this and accept what the message has to offer.
The Bible:
Me: Promise you won’t get mad?
GOD: I promise
Me (frustrated): Whey did you let so much stuff happen to me today?
GOD: What do you mean?
Me: Well I woke up late.
GOD: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start.
GOD: Okay…
Me (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
GOD: Hmmmm…
Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call
GOD: All right
Me (loudly): And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn’t work. Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?
GOD: Well let me see…the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled): Oh…
GOD: I didn’t let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that might have hit you if you were on the road.
Me (ashamed): …..
GOD: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn’t want you to catch what they have. I knew you couldn’t afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed): Oh…
GOD: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give a false witness about what you said on that call. I didn’t even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
GOD: Oh and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn’t think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I’m sorry God.
GOD:Don’t be sorry, just learn to trust me…in all things, the good and the bad.
Me: I WILL trust you God
GOD: And don’t doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won’t God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.
GOD: You’re welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children.

This is the way it was delivered to me. I am not sure if Mike wrote it or sent it out. Either way, I am sharing the message because it is powerful.
I always talk about people using the phrase “keeping it real”. What is real is your perspective and it is only real to you. So “did you get the right message” (perspective).
Before you look at the world from your “immediate” prospective, realize there are always other options. When you grasp the idea that there are always options, you stop judging and you start to live.
It ain’t right. It ain’t wrong. It’s just my opinion
