dear guys,
it's from Neale Donald walsch.
may God help us when in difficulty
Are You Fed Up?There is no better place to be than Fed Up.
That's the place of new beginnings. That's the place of letting go. That's the
place of "giving up." You are giving up what's been going on so far,
and getting ready to create a new reality.
I know with all the talk of war and terror
levels and how shall we respond, what is the answer, it's not so difficult to
feel like giving up. If you feel like giving up, I'd like you to consider
giving up one more thing; I'd like you to give up your idea that you can't find
an answer.
I'm here to tell you that you can.
God will never let you down, and if you have not
received any response from God before it is not because He hasn't answered, it
is because, like me, you have been unable to hear the response. But trust me.
God is responding. Right now. And every day and moment of your life.
I have often heard from people interpreting CwG
Book 1 to say that God "couldn't care less about your daily
experience" and that God just wants you to "go out and play."
That would be a mischaracterization and I don't want you to hang in there with
that. God does care about your experience. God simply doesn't care how you go
about creating it. Imagine loving parents watching their children at play in
the yard. They "don't care" whether their children play Tag or
Hide-'n-Seek. It matters not to them what games are invented. But they do care
about whether the children are safe, and having a good time. So they make sure
the yard is safe, and, if the children get hurt and call out for help, the
parents are right there, running out to the yard to see what's up, and to make
everything better.
It is not so very different with God. She gives
us the toys with which to fashion the most wonderful "games" (read
that, life) and a safe place in which to play. Then, He leaves us alone to have
our experience, and has absolutely no preference whether we play Tag, or
Hide-'n-Seek. But if we call for help, God is there - right there - to make
everything better.
That is not someone who "doesn't care" about our daily experience -
that is someone who loves us enough to give us our freedom to do as we wish,
and promises to be there for us whenever we need Him. Sounds like a pretty neat
God to me.
So now, call on God to answer you. Ask God to
show you a sign, give you some help, and provide you with some special insight
that might help you now. But be on the lookout. Her response may come in a form
other than the one you are expecting. It could by the lyrics of the next song
you hear, the story line of the next movie you see, the text of the next book
that falls into your hands. It could be the chance utterance of a friend on the
street, or a thought that comes to you in the middle of the night.
So watch! Look! Listen! For you do not know the
Hour, nor the Form, in which God will come with your word of encouragement. For
all you know, it could be something you read in a book somewhere...
