a chat with God

i had a conversation with God.

i never thought it would happen, but i'm glad it did.

i saw a lovely old couple the other day, and they were so in love.

and i saw the family they brought up, the children and their children.

and how amazing and knitted the family was.

such a beautiful legacy they would leave behind on this earth when they go to Heaven.

and then i asked God,

"Heavenly Father, if You have created such beauty in the connection of a man and a woman as one, and the amazing authority You've given us to create and leave influential and life changing legacies behind..

how come some people don't see that? why do they get the feelings like they don't belong to Your original plan and purpose of creating men and women to compliment each other?

I'm so confused. And i'm hurting. Why do they choose to do this?"

And then God said:

" They don't deliberately do it to hurt you. Just like when u sin, you don't deliberately do it to hurt me, do you? The devil is smart, and he wraps temptation in beautiful and attractive packages. Just like how you have found yourself falling into temptation, they too are struggling with temptations of their own. While you are confused and hurting, they are just as or even more confused and hurting too"

then i said:
"but at least i try not to do it. Why don't they try at all?"

God replied:
"Because sometimes emotions are so overwhelming, that it impedes them from hearing the truth. And without knowing the truth, one cannot distinguish sin from the ways of God"

then i continued:
"but why do i have to carry their burdens. Its too hard to live with. i feel miserable and sad.I've attempted giving up these relationships so many times, but my guilt towards them always pulls me back in."

God said:
"Dying on the cross for you was not easy for Jesus to do. Just like you, He had doubts and fears about the instructions i gave Him. But Jesus did not decide to die on the cross because He felt guilty and compelled to do so, He did it out of obedience and because of his love for you and for Me. Shouldn't you do the same for your loved ones? To push through the fear and be with them because u love them, instead of being there because u feel guilty to leave them?"

then God challenged me:
" What if Jesus had given up? Where would you be now? How would you feel? Similarly, where would your friends be if you choose to give up on them? How would they feel?"

Then God said:
" Be a light to the world, show them acceptance, show them the sincerity in your heart, like how i show you. Assure them that you'll walk with them daily. Without you, they will not make it through.
Love them just like how i love you. One day they will understand that i love them too. My child, i will guide you each step of the way, do not be anxious "




i feel so at peace now.
Hallelujah.
