| I SAID: Old Testament. Got it. "For I know the plans I have for you, 'declares the Lord,' plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Wow. GOD: My child, I love you way too much to let you slide. It hurts me to watch you settle for WWJD being a mere peice of fabric wrapped around your wrist when it's meant to be much more. I SAID: I'm sorry, Father, I never really thought about it. GOD: You see, I went through more torture than you can even fathom...just so you could live WWJD instead of simply wear it. There is alot to swallow. And I did it because I love you. I SAID: But Father, I don't deserve love that great. GOD: And you know what? If you had been the only person in the entire world, I still would have gone through the crucifixion just for you! I SAID: Jesus, will you forgive me? I'm so sorry. I never meant to take your death for granted. I don't want to be a phony. I want to be genuineand full of you. I want people to see a difference in my life. I'm sorry. I've taken you for granted. Jesus, fill me. Let me be putty in your hands. Remake me in your image. GOD: Yes I SAID: I need to hurry to my piano lesson right now Lord. And as soon as that's over, I have an important appointment. GOD: Oh? I SAID: With my Bible and my Heavenly Father. We need to talk about my friends, my time, and my entertainment. GOD: Guess what? I SAID: What? GOD: That's exactly what Jesus would do! ~Janice Hodges~ |
