Too Busy?????

[barb754]

As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy.

At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.

After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not; just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me. Bedtime, I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you.

I've got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well. I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!

Your friend,
GOD

I want to share you some stories may I?

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]I was generally an all-around "good" person growing up. My parents were Christians, and were raising me to be one as well. I grew up in the church, and often attended all three services on Sunday because my father played the church organ and my mother was in charge of the nursery. By the time I reached sixth grade, I had heard in virtually every Sunday School lesson imaginable, and I was beginning to wonder if church had anything more to offer. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]It was in those formative years of Junior High that I first began to realize that there was a difference between going to church and actually being a Christian. It was there, from our church youth pastor, that I began to learn about the real life implications of what God had done through Jesus Christ on my behalf, and the impact that it has on those who believe it. Instead of my parent's religion, Christianity became my own relationship with the Lord. Just being a "good" person wasn't going to cut it anymore. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t go to church, so it is difficult to delineate a specific time when I did not believe. I did not have a dramatic conversion experience, and I can’t recall one particular day that I realized that I was radically and spiritually different from the one before it. But I can say that as a result of what gradually happened to me that I emerged from those years as someone changed forever. I knew my mission in life, if nothing else, was to somehow try to live for Jesus becuase he lived... and he died... for me.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Hello from Iowa! My name is Emily Archer. The greatest thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life happened when I was just seven years old. At such a young age, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. During a Sunday evening service, I remember realizing for the first time that I was a sinner, just like everyone else in the world. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." I also realized that the punishment for my sin was death, and that I was separated from God because of that sin (Romans 6:23). [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]I grasped the truth that there was nothing I could do to save myself from my sins (Titus 3:5). I understood that even though I was a sinner and deserved the punishment of hell, God provided a way for my sins to be forgiven. A very well-known verse that means a lot to me is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]I realized that God sent his only Son to this earth, and that He was perfect in every way. Because Jesus Christ was perfect, He became the final sacrifice for the sins of the world when He was crucified on a cruel cross. (Romans 5:8) Although He did nothing to deserve this hideously painful death, He had such a love for us that He willingly gave up His life so that those who put their trust in Him can have eternal life in Heaven. That night, after realizing that I was lost in my sins and in need of a Savior, I prayed and asked Jesus Christ to take away my sins and give me a new life in Him. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]That night, I crossed over from living in the darkness of my sins to living in the light of God's love and forgiveness! Although Christ had saved me from my sins, I did not live a life that showed that I was a Christian. I struggled a lot through my junior high years with different areas of sin. My group of friends were a terrible influence on me, and my attitude and actions were no different than those of a non-Christian. I knew that my actions were not pleasing to the Lord, but I had no real desire to change my behavior. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]The summer of my seventh grade year, however, I went to a Bible camp where I was extremely convicted of the way that I had been living. A very godly man whom I respect very much showed me from the Word of God that I could change the way that I was living and get my life right with God. I recognized that I had not been spending any time in prayer or reading the Word of God, so I made a commitment that I would set aside time every day to do these things. It was amazing to see how God worked through me just spending time in prayer and in reading the Word. I started learning so many things about how I could change my life in order that I might be more effective for God's work here on earth. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]The way in which God has worked on my heart since that time is amazing! I have grown to have such a fondness for the Word of God, and I love to spend time in communication with God through prayer. It took a lot of prayer, reading the Bible, and encouragement from other believers for me to change my life around...a change like that does not happen overnight! It is so awesome for me to look back at the person I was, and see how far I've come. It is all because of the grace of God that I am where I am at today. I am so glad that even when I was unfaithful to God, He never once gave up on me! I pray that if you are reading this and you are struggling with sin or are weary of seeing only small steps of progression on your road to change, that you will take heart that God is faithful! He will never give up on you! God's love for all mankind is absolutely amazing, and He is not about to give up on you...don't give up on Him! [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]I am excited to see where God is going to lead me and the ways in which He is going to continue to work in my life. I know that I want to be involved in full-time Christian ministry, and I am praying that God will guide and direct me to exactly where He wants me. I can tell you that there is nothing more rewarding than surrendering your life to Christ and letting Him lead you wherever He wants you! It is my prayer that if someone is reading these testimonies and does not know Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior, that they would pray and ask God to forgive them of their sins. Romans 10:9-10 says, "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Jesus said Himself in John 10:10 that He came to this earth in order that we might have life...eternal life in Heaven with Him! What a powerful and loving God we serve! [/size][/font]

[barb754]

stevi_holy,

Not bad? This message,devotion. has a very strong message in it. Alot of us take each day for granted and never take time to thank God for letting us see another day,keeping us safe, and, for loving all of us as he does. All he wants to do is to hear from you, even if it is only a few words. (Prayer)
