Email: Hope This Will Be Our Walk

I received this in an email today and thought it went well with my previous post so I decided to copy and paste it here. ENJOY!

Hello God,

I called tonight 

To talk a little while

I need a friend who'll listen

To my anxiety and trial.

You see, I can't quite make it

Through a day just on my own...

I need your love to guide me,

So I'll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep

My family safe and sound.

Come and fill their lives with confidence

For whatever fate they're bound.

Give me faith, dear God, to face

Each hour throughout the day,

And not to worry over things

I can't change in anyway.

I thank you God for being home

And listening to my call,

For giving me such good advice

When I stumble and fall.

Your number, God, is the only one

That answers every time.

I never get a busy signal,

Never had to pay a dime.

So thank you, God, for listening

To my troubles and my sorrow.

Good night, God, I love You too,

And I'll call again tomorrow!

The man whispered, "God, speak to me"

and a meadowlark sang.

But, the man did not hear. So the man yelled, 

"God, speak to me"

and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen. The man looked around and said,

"God let me see you." And a star shined brightly.

But the man did not see. And, the man shouted,

"God show me a miracle."

And, a life was born.

But, the man did not notice. So, the man cried out in despair,

"Touch me God, and let me know You are here."

Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.

But, the man brushed the butterfly away

and walked on.

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little 

and simple things that we take for granted...even in our electronic age...

so I would like to add one more:

The man cried,

"God, I need your help!"

 And an e-mail arrived reaching out 

with good news and encouragement.

But, the man deleted it and continued crying...

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

1 Peter 2:6-8 NIV

For in Scripture it says:

   “See, I lay a stone in Zion,
   a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
   will never be put to shame.”

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,

   “The stone the builders rejected
   has become the cornerstone,”and,

   “A stone that causes people to stumble
   and a rock that makes them fall.”

They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
