Effective immediately, please be aware that there are
changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in
order that I may fulfill my promises to you to grant you peace, joy and
happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I
am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10
guidelines
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 comes
your 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 one 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...
