 Effective
immediately,
please be aware that there are changes YOU
need
to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be
completed
in order that I may fulfill My promises
to you to grant you
peace, joy and happiness in
this life. I apologize for any
inconvenience,
but after all that I am doing, this seems
very
little to ask of you. Please,follow
these 10 guidelines
1. QUIT
WORRYING:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit
and
worry. Have you forgotten that I am here
to take all your
burdens and carry them for you?
Or do you just enjoy fretting
over every little
thing that comes your way?
2. PUT IT ON THE
LIST:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it
on the
list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY
to-do-list. Let ME be the
one to take care
of the problem. I can't help you until you
turn
it over to Me. And although My to-do-list
is long, I am
after all... God. I can take care
of anything you put into My
hands. In fact,
if the truth were ever really known, I take
care of a lot of things for you that you never
even realize.
3. TRUST
ME:
Once you've given your burdens to Me,
quit trying to take
them back. Trust in
Me. Have the faith that I will take care
of
all your needs, your problems and your trials.
Problems
with the kids? Put them on My list.
Problem with finances? Put it
on My list.
Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For
My sake, put it on My list. I want to
help you. All you have to
do is ask.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don't wake up one morning and say,
"Well, I'm feeling much
stronger now, I think
I can handle it from here." Why do you
think
you are feeling stronger now? It's simple.
You gave Me
your burdens and I'm taking
care of them. I also renew your
strength
and cover you in my peace. Don't you
know that if I
give you these problems back,
you will be right back where you
started?
Leave them with Me and forget about
them. Just let Me
do my job.
5. TALK TO ME:
I
want you to forget a lot of things.
Forget what was making you
crazy.
Forget the worry and the fretting because
you know I'm
in control. But there's one
thing I pray you never forget.
Please, don't
forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love YOU!
I
want to hear your voice. I want you to
include Me in on the
things going on in your life.
I want to hear you talk about your
friends
and family. Prayer is simply you having
a
conversation with Me. I want to be your
dearest friend.
6. HAVE
FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up here that you
can't see
from where you are. Have faith in
Me that I know what I'm doing.
Trust Me;
you wouldn't want the view from My eyes.
I will
continue to care for you, watch over you,
and meet your needs.
You only have to trust Me.
Although I have a much bigger task
than you,
it seems as if you have so much trouble just
doing
your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. SHARE:
You were
taught to share when you were
only two years old. When did you
forget?
That rule still applies. Share with those who
are
less fortunate than you. Share your joy with
those who
need encouragement. Share your
laughter with those who haven't
heard any in
such a long time. Share your tears with those
who
have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith
with those who have
none.
8.
BE PATIENT:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime
you
could have so many diverse experiences.
You grow from a child to
an adult, have children,
change jobs many times, learn many
trades,
travel to so many places, meet thousands
of people,
and experience so much. How can
you be so impatient then when it
takes Me
a little longer than you expect to handle
something
on My to-do-list? Trust in My
timing, for My timing is perfect.
Just
because I created the entire universe in
onlysix days,
everyone thinks I should
always rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND:
Be kind
to others, for I love them just
as much as I love you. They may
not dress
like you, or talk like you, or live the same
way
you do, but I still love you all. Please try
to get along,
for My sake. I created each
of you different in some way. It
would be
too boring if you were all identical.
Please, know
I love each of your differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can you not
love yourself? You
were created by me for
one reason only -- to be loved, and to
love
in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me.
Love your
neighbors. But also love yourself.
It makes My heart ache when I
see you
so angry with yourself when things go
wrong. You are
very precious to me.
Don't ever
forget......
