An Interview with GOD

This is something that I practically look at on a daily basis as its pasted on the wall right next to my office table. I cant remember who sent it to me but I thought the message is simple yet so true...

An Interview with GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God
'So! You would like to interview me?' God asked.
'If you have the time.' I said
God smiled. 'My time is eternity. What question do you have in mind for me?'
'What surprises you most about humankind?'
God answered....
'That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.'
'That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.'
'That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that the live in neither the present nor the future.'
'That they live as if they will never die, and die like they had never lived.'
God's hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...'As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?'
'To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.'
'To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.'
'To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.'
'To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.'
'To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most , but is the one who needs the least.'
'To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.'
'To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.'
'To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.'
'Thank you for your time,' I said humbly.
'Is there anything else you would like your children to know?'
God smiled and said, 'Just know that I am here.. always'.

This might just be an imaginated piece, but its quite thought provoking aint it? It did to me. We might not be angels but mere humans but if.. just if.. we can put some effort... we can learn at least one lesson from all those listed above. There are more lessons in life but I think none are more important than above.

Make a change!
