LIGHTEN UP!Okay, now! Just lighten up!
Just get it off your chest!
Quit your belly-achin"
And give My Name a rest!
You moan and groan, theatrically
......repeating every line!
I'm really much too busy, now,
For you to waste My time!
I'm patient as a saint, you know,
For they, too, must reply
Each time you groan and whimper
Shaking your fist at the sky!
I'm not truly "there", you know,
That's just more "space" I made.
I'm in your heart, your mind and soul!
So why are you afraid?
You need not shake your fist at Me!
I know each thing you need!
Just speak your piece, I'm near enough,
To feel it when you bleed!
My Son bled from His hands and feet,
His head, sides and His heart...
So all you kids would know I'm here,
When your belly-achin" starts!
So, spit it out! Once is enough!
There are other folks in need!
I'll help you and you'll help me out,
If these, MY WORDS, you'll heed!
Think about the other guy
You griped about today!
Think about the needy one
You "side-stepped", on your way!
Think about the little ways
You just might help a friend!
Perhaps then, you will realize,
Just how "close" I've always been!
You really needn't yell at Me
When things aren't going straight
You have the brain I blessed you with!
You know it's not too late!
Now, put things in perspective!
Sort out the wasteful stuff!
I'll be here, when you truly "need"
But, you gotta lighten up!
Love,
GOD
