God's Memorandum
-Og Mandino
1⃣
I hear your cry.
It passes through the darkness, filters through the clouds, mingles with starlight
And finds its way to my heart on the path of a sunbeam.
I have anguished over the cry of a hare choked in the noose of a snare,
A sparrow tumbled from the nest of its mother,
A child thrashing helplessly in a pond, and a son shredding his blood on a cross.
2⃣
Know that i hear you, also. Be at peace. Be calm.
I bring thee relief for your sorrow for i know its cause... and its cure.
You weep for all your childhood dreams that have vanished with the years.
You weep for all your self-esteem that has been wasted through misuse.
3⃣
Do you remember who implanted those plans and seeds of hope within you?
You cannot!
You have no memory of that moment when first you emerged
from you mother's womb and i place my hand on your soft brow.
and the secret i whispered in your small ear
when i bestowed my blessings upon you?
The passing years have destroyed your recollection,
for they have filled your mind with fear and doubt and anxiety
and remorse and hate and there is no room for joyful memories
4⃣
Weep no more.
Let me share with you, again, the secret you heard at your birth and forgot.
You are my greatest miracle. You did not believe me then...
How could you be a miracle when you consider yourself a failure,
When you have little confidence in dealing with the most trival of responsibilities?
5⃣
This is your new date of birth.
Your first life, like unto a play of the theatre, was only a rehearsal.
This time the curtain is up. This time the world watches and waits to applaud.
This time you will not fail. Light your candles. You have been reborn.
Like a butterfly from its chrysalis you will fly... fly as high as you wish,
and neither the wasps nor dragonflies nor mantis of mankind
Shall obstruct your mission or search for the true riches of life
6⃣
Feel my hand upon thy head.
Attend to my wisdom.
