One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise
AHHHH! the beauty of God's creation is beyond decription
As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful works.
As I sat there, I felt the Lord's Presence with me
He asked me, "Do you loved me?"
I answered, "Of course, God!
You are ,my Lord and Savior!"
Then He asked, "iF YOU WERE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED, WOULD YOU STILL LOVE ME?"
I was perplexed, I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest of my body and wondered
How many things i wouldn't be able to do, the thing that i took for granted.
And i answered, "It would be tough Lord, But i would still love You."
Then the Lord said, "If you were blind, would you still love my creation?"
How could i Love something without being able to see it?
Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still love God and His creation.
So I answered, "It's hard to think of it, But i would still love You"
The Lord then asked me, "If you were deaf, would you listen to my word?"
How could I listen to anything Being deaf? then I understood
Listening to God's word is not merely using our ears, but our hearts
I answered, "It would be tough, but I would still listen to Your word."
The lord then asked me, "If you were mute would you still praise My Name?"
How could I praise without a voice?
The it occurred to me, God wants us sing from our very heart and soul.
It never matters what we sound like. And praising God is not always with a song but
when we are persecuted, we give God praise with our words of thanks
so I answered, " Tough i could not physically sing, I would still praise Your Name."
An the Lord asked. "do You really love me?"
With courage and a strong conviction, I Answered Boldly,
Yes Lord! I Love You because You are the one and true God!"
I thought I had answered well, but...........
God asked.........
"THEN WHY DO YOU SIN?"
I answered, Because i am only human. I am not perfect>"
'THEN WHY IN TIMES OF PEACE DO YOU STRAY THE FURTHEST?
WHY ONLY IN TIME OF TROUBLE DO YOU PRAY THE EARNEST?"
No answered only tears
the Lord Continued;
WHY ONLY SING AT FELLOWSHIPS AND RETREAT?
WHY SEEK ME ONLY IN TIME OF WORSHIP?
WHY ASK THINGS SO SELFISHLY
WHY ASK THINGS SO UNFAITHFULLY?
the tears continued to roll down my cheeks.
WHY ARE YOU ASHAMED OF ME?
WHY ARE YOU NOT SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS?
WHY IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION, YOU CRY TO OTHERS WHEN I OFFER MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON?
WHY MAKE EXCUSES WHEN I GIVE YOU OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE IN MY NAME?
I tried to answered but there was no answer to give
YOU ARE BLESSED WITH LIFE I MADE YOU NOT TO THROW THIS GIFT AWAY
I HAVE BLESSED YOU WITH TALENTS TO SERVE ME BUT YOU CONTINUE TO TURN AWAY
I HAVE REVEALED MY WORD TO YOU, BUT YOU DO NOT GAIN IN KNOWLEDGE
I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU BUT YOUR EARS WERE CLOSED
I HAVE SHOWN MY BLESSING TO YOU BUT YOUR EYES WERE TURN AWAY
I HAVE SENT YOU SERVANTS, BUT YOU SAT IDLY BY AS THEY WERE PUSHED AWAY
I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYERS AND I HAVE ANSWERED THEM ALL
DO YOU REALLY LOVE ME?
I could not answered, How could I? I was embarrassed beyond belief
i had no excuse. what could i say to this?
When my heart had cried out and the tears had flowed, I said
"Please forgive me Lord, I am Unworthy to be Your child"
The Lord answered, "That is My Grace, My Child"
I asked, Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do You Love me so?"
The Lord Answered.
Because Your My Creation You are ny Child, I will never abandon You
WHEN YOU CRY, I WILL HAVE COMPASSION AND CRY WITH YOU
WHEN YOU SHOUT WITH JOY I WILL LAUGH WITH YOU
WHEN YOU ARE DOWN I WILL ENCOURAGE YOU
WHEN YOU FALL I WILL RAISE YOU UP
WHEN YOU ARE TIRED I WILL CARRY YOU
I WILL BE WITH YOU TILL THE END OF DAYS AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
Never had i cried so hard before. How could i have been so cold?
How could i have Hurt God as i had done? I asked God, How much do You love Me?"
The Lord stretched out His arms, and I saw His nailed-pierced hand.
I bowed down at the feet of Christ, My Savior.
And for the first time, I truly prayed.
