I received this from a reader some time ago and have held on to it for some time. It made me think and I hope it will you . . .
Memo from God:
To: You
Date: Today
From: God
Subject: You
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.
- If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. It will be addressed in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it.
- If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
- Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
- Should you dislike your meal, think about those all over the world who are starving and would be overjoyed with it.
- If you are angry at something your pastor said Sunday, think of those in China and elsewhere who would love to attend church.
- Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.
- Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
- Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would cherish the opportunity to take that walk.
- Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
- Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get that opportunity.
- Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be them.
Psalm1:1
Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord.
