Ten Guidelines - Sai Baba

[Guest guest]

1. QUIT WORRYING:

Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten

that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just

enjoy fretting over every little thing that comesyour way?

 

 

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:

Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list.

Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can " t

help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am

after all...God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if

the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that

you never even realize.

 

 

3. TRUST ME:

Once you " ve given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in

Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and

your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.Problem with finances?

Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For My sake, put

it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

 

 

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:

Don " t wake up one morning and say, " Well, I " m feeling much stronger now, I think

I can handle it from here. " Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It " s

simple. You gave Me your burdens and I " m taking care of them. I also renew your

strength and cover you in my peace. Don " t you know that if I give you these

problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and

forget about them. Just let Me do my job.

 

 

5. TALK TO ME:

I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget

the worry and the fretting because you know I " m in control. But there " s one

thing I pray you never forget. Please, don " t forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I

love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things

going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family.

Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest

friend.

 

6. HAVE FAITH:

I see a lot of things from up here that you can " t see from where you are. Have

faith in Me that I know what I " m doing. Trust Me; you wouldn " t want the view

from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your

needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you,

it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard

can trust be?

 

7. SHARE:

You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget?

That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share

your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who

haven " t heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have

forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

 

 

 

8. BE PATIENT:

I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse

experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many

times, learn many trades, travel to so many places,

meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient

then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My

to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created

the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush,

rush, rush.

 

9. BE KIND:

Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not

dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love

you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different

in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I

love each of your differences.

 

10. LOVE YOURSELF:

As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for

one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love

Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I

see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to

me. Don " t ever forget......
