The Stethescope

Some of you may have seen this video called The Stethescope- it would be nice if God spoke to us that way all the time- but don't hold your breath waiting.  God has a way of speaking to us all in different ways.  It can be through your pastor, a friend, your spouse, a song, the Bible or his still small voice.  No matter how he speaks to you, it should line up with what he says in the Bible. Sometimes we just are not listening or too busy?  Someone said Christians are not perfect, just forgiven. I learned long ago to keep my eyes on Christ as an example and not to watch what others may do as my example. I have always said, if you have found the perfect church, please do not invite me as I would hate to ruin it. God never changes- people Do.

Sometimes God speaks to us and God Said NO! Let me share this with you today- Called God Said No."

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others,
as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.


What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God. ~Eleanor Powell
