An Interview With God

 

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. "
