-God, my best friend..-
Hi, God.
Hi!
Im getting really tired of my friends.
How come?
They just ask all these different questions.
Like, they say, (cuz they know Im a Christian), Well if God is a loving God then why did he let this happen or why did he do that? Im just running out of answers.
What do you usually say to them?
Well I try to answer as best as I can.
They just want to know all the facts and all the detailed questions; and they pick everything they can and make a big thing out of it, and say well if youre a Christian, you cant do this, and they say theyd want to know everything about you and theyd want proof before they consider becoming a Christian.
Hmmm
kind of contradicting themselves, really.
What do you mean? Well, how did you guys become friends?
From school.
Yeah but how?
Well when we first came I kind of started talking to this girl who sat next to me in one class and soon we were really talking and then she said, Come on, Ill show you my other friends so you can get to know them. So then we-
Hold on there. She said, Come on, Ill show you my other friends so you can get to know them.
Yeah.
What did you say?
I said, Cool; Id really like to meet them.
You didnt hesitate?
No, why would I?
You didnt say, Oh I dont know
Ill have to think about this?
No.
You didnt say, My mum tells me not to make friends with anyone I dont know?
Thats stupid.
I know.
But you didnt say, I need to know all about them; what do they look like? How many other friends do they have? What is their family life like? When were they born; what exact day of what exact month of what exact year (and what exact time)? What are they like; are they hairy, skinny, fat, tall, short or medium? Please observe them for me; do they eat with their mouths open or closed? Do they like computers? Do they have thick or thin hair? What are their eyes like? Are they ever scary? Are they into creative arts or sports? Have they ever broken a bone? Do they have long or short toes? Do they-
Stop it, God! What are you trying to get at?
You just said, Cool; Id love to meet them.
Yeah
You know, thats really beautiful actually.
Why?
You just went along and met them regardless of all the little details. I wish people would do the same with me.
I get you now.
People want to know all the facts, every little detail about me when all they really need to do is go, Cool; Id love to meet God.
Child, you dont need to answer all their questions. All you need to tell them as that I am a friend of yours that you want them to meet. And they can choose whether they want to or not; Ill just be waiting for them. As for the rest; they will find out more about me when they get to know me. They dont need to know everything about me and all the facts before they even meet me! Why dont you use that illustration next time?
God, you really opened my eyes then!! It makes so much more sense now! Thanks, youre awesome. I feel so stupid every time I ask a question and receive such a simple answer!
Well keep asking anyway. Im glad youre asking because if you never did, you would never have any answers. So put away the history books, forget about the proof, just let them know that I am waiting.
