A CONVERSATION WITH GOD
482 Words
One day I had a conversation with
God as I knelt besides my bed
I questioned Him because of all the
confusion invading my head.
Lord is it necessary to tell others
what you’ve done for me
I have all that I need surely they
can see?
Do I have to visit the sick and
comfort those who morn
Isn’t that Your duty that’s not
why I was born?
Do we always have to be giving
You know that times are tough?
We return tithes and offerings
isn’t that enough?
Do You know what we old folk
receive as a pension?
What a laugh an amount I’m
too ashamed to even mention.
Lord do I have to love everyone
I call brother?
Especially those who are annoying
and are quite a bother.
And Lord You want me to let a
stranger into my place?
Sure, as long as you send one whose
police clearance I can trace.
Have You read the news and seen
what’s showing on TV?
If You have, then You will agree that
my lifestyle is safer for me.
Lord do I have to tell people about
Jesus dying on Calvary?
No one wants to believe it they
say it’s part of history.
And lord this promise that Jesus
made about coming back again
Remember when He was here
He was treated with disdain.
Thank You Lord for listening,
please answer my questions.
I will stay on my knees for a while
waiting for Your suggestions.
Take Your time Lord I know that
You have lots to think about
I also know my questions are valid
of this I have no doubt.
I waited for a response from the
Lord for quite a while
Nothing! I guess He was okay
with my lifestyle.
Then I received my answers when
I went to church one day
From the local preacher who
knew just what to say.
It seemed like his sermon was
especially prepared for me
Opening my eyes to who God is
and what He wants me to be
He had answers to my questions
and many more
About God’s character in the Bible
the book I choose to ignore.
I had another conversation with
God as I knelt beside my bed
This time I asked Him to forgive
me for all the things I said.
I didn’t have to go to church to
hear the Lord’s response
I felt His presence in my room
and His forgiveness all at once.
Paper clips are mass produced
and sold in large quantities
Some are made of plastic, and
some of metal in certain cities.
Each of them is small and al-
though often difficult to find
Their work is of great importance
in spite of their unusual design.
The original purpose of a clip
when it was first made,
Was to hold things together so that
they weren’t easily mislaid.
