I dreamed I had an INTERVIEW
WITH GOD.
"So, you would like to
interview me?" GOD asked.
"If you have time," I said.
GOD smiled. "My time is
eternity...
What questions do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you the
most about humankind?"
GOD answered...
"That they get bored with
childhood, that they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."
"That they lose their health
to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously
about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither
the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they
would never die, and die as though they had never lived."
GOD's hand took mine...
and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, "As a
parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
GOD replied, "To learn
they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves
be loved."
"To learn that it is not
good to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgive by
practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that it only
takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and
it can take many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are
people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express
or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people
can look at the same thing, and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not
enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time,"
I said humbly.
"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"
GOD smiled, and said...
"Just know that I am here." "Always."
