A friend sent this email to me today, while I've seen things
like this before, it really struck a chord with me today. Too many times
we think we know what is right for our life and when things don't go our way we
question why... sometimes we just need to trust that there is a reason why
things happen the way they do. It's all about how you look at things.
Me: Promise you won't get mad.
God: I promise.
Me: Why 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: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
God: Hmmm.
Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call.
God: All right.
Me: And on top of it all, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet
in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work!!! Nothing
went right today! Why did you do that?
God: 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 would 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): Ok...
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going
to give 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 shortage 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: 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.
