Sometimes We Think God Is Sick

 Sometimes We Think God Is Sick


Sometimes we think God is sick. I read differing news feeds and social media posts and I sense fear and angst, despair and a great lack of hope. It is as if we have come to believe in the fallibility of God.

I suppose I hear voices that cry out ... God, are you sick?
Are you on your death bed?
Can you still work in this day and time? Do you care about us?

Are you still in the miracle business? Are you with us, still?

My word for all of us today ...
Don’t despair.
Have faith.
He (God) neither slumbers nor sleeps.

He may not answer our prayers, our calls and our cries of desperation the very minute we cry out, but take heart, He hears and sees every need, every situation and every crisis that rears its ugly head all over this planet.

God, in His time, will act in ways that are in keeping with his nature and His timing. Remember, He is master of the MASTER CLOCK.

The greatest Bible verse I could ever offer is this:

“Be not afraid nor dismayed, for I the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Remember, this is a promise, not for deliverance from, but sustainability through all circumstances.

Let your faith find its footing in this promise.

A Few Reminders about God

A Few Reminders about God

~If I forget to say my prayers before I go to sleep, God still watches over me. If I forget to call on Him in time of trouble, He still is near.

~If I stray from the path on which I know to go, He still goes with me and He is near.

~If I make a wrong decision or two, God stays nearby. I sense His guiding hand even in the middle of my bad moves.

~If I forget to say “Thank You,” God still moves on my behalf and protects me.

For my God is grace, and His grace is greater than any sin I commit.

Letter Thirty-Four from God

Letter Thirty-Four
August 30, 2020


THIRTY-FOUR

Dear Child:

You are my child.  I cherish you.  I value you.

I have put within you all kinds of talents and abilities.  You have barely scraped the surface of all that you could be.  It’s all inside of you, and you own it free and clear. 

Every inclination, every longing, every desire, and every spurt of an idea that you have or have ever had is a part of you because of the way I put you together.  I want to help you turn those possibilities into viable ideas to better mankind.

It’s been that way from the beginning. 

Lean in and let me whisper in your ear. 

I love you!

Got that?

I love you.  You are a masterpiece on the verge of greatness.

When I see you, I see a future with hope. 

I am already so proud of you.

Your loving God!

Letter Thirty-Three from God

THIRTY-THREE

My Dear Child:

 

I want to correct a misconception some people have about me.  I have been painted by some as being severe and harsh.  Some people fear me so much that they think I am unapproachable. 

 

That breaks my heart.

 

My one wish for you is that you would come near.  Crawl up into my strong arms and share your hopes and dreams, your angst and disappointments.

 

One of my key messages to mankind is this: “Come unto me, all who are weary and heavy hearted.  I will give you an unbelievable rest.”

 

My house is big and my rooms are large.  I have plenty of room for you. 

 

Don’t stay outside.  Come on in the house.

 

Pull up a chair by the fireplace.

 

Come to Papa.

Letter Thirty-Two from God

THIRTY-TWO

My Dear Child:

You hear it often – just have faith. 

I’m all about faith, for I am faithful.

If you believe in me, it is because of faith.  You can’t see me.  You can’t touch me.  You can feel my presence, and that is because of your faith. 

Occasionally I will ask someone to take a certain action with no guarantee or promise of what the outcome will be.  All I promise is that I’ll be with them through the experience.

Remember this … faith doesn’t come with a guarantee. 

That’s it. 

I do promise to always be by your side. 

Faith like that has started grand enterprises.  It has launched massive good works around this world, and countless lives have been changed for the greater good of mankind. 

Need a guarantee?

I’ll be with you.

That is enough.

God

Letter Thirty-One from God

THIRTY-ONE

Dear Child:

Do you think I created you just to watch you struggle?  I don’t play those kinds of games.  My ultimate goal for you is to bring you to my house. 

Here’s the thing.  I’m more interested in finding ways to bring you home to me than for ways to keep you out.

I don’t have a lot of house rules.  I just want you with me, forever.

I’ll always offer you a helping hand and a listening ear.  I’ll never put you down, make life complicated, and I certainly won’t leave you where I found you. 

I want to bring you home with me. 

Do you want to come to my house … forever?

God.
