Message from God
"Last Wed night I went to church and was praying for God to send me an answer of what I need to do next. I prayed at church and on the way home. I said please Lord give me a sign somehow of what I need to do or what. Me and my wife was supposed to be in court the next morning at 09:00 for part of the start of divorce proceedings. I continued to pray Lord I need an answer. I do not know how you will show me or what, if it is in my bible reading, or what. At 11:00 I was tired and started off to bed and thought Lord I still haven't heard anything. And I have been faithful in my prayers.
Before I went to bed I went to my computer and thought I
would check my email and this is the message forwarded to me
from a friend of mine in North Carolina.
Message from God
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not need your help. If life
happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot
handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the
SFGTD (something for God to do) box. It will be addressed in
My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box,
do not hold on to it. If you find yourself stuck in traffic,
don't despair. There are people in this world for whom
driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for years. Should you despair over a relationship gone badly, think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return. Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children. Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk. Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is
life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful.
There are those who didn't live long enough to get the
opportunity. Should you find yourself the victim of other
people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities,
remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!!
Should you decide to send this to a friend, you might
brighten someone's day! If this is given to you it means you
are a good friend!!! Good Luck!
Isn't God wonderful?" Greg
