Me (in a tizzy): God, can I ask You something?
GOD: Sure.
Me: Promise You won’t get mad?
GOD: I promise.
Me (frustrated): 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 (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait
GOD: Hmmmm.
Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call
GOD: All right
Me (loudly): And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak
my feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn’t work. Nothing went
right today! Why did You do that?
GOD: Well 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 might 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): Oh…
GOD: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to
give a 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 short 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.
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.
