WE NEVER TALK
ANYMORE
--author unknown--
(Gen 28:16-17 KJV) And Jacob awaked out of his sleep,
and he said,
Surely the LORD is in this
place;
and I knew it not.
{17} And he was afraid, and said,
How dreadful is this place! this
is none other but the house of God,
and this is the gate of
heaven.

Dear Friend,
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 put on and wear to
school.
I waited
again.
When you ran
around the house getting ready,
I thought 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.
I thought you wanted
to talk to me
but then I saw you
spring to your feet. and you ran to the
phone and called a friend to get
the latest gossip.
I watched as you went to school or work and I waited
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,
that 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.
How sad.
But there is
still more time left,
and I have hope that
you will talk to me even 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 ,
The things that
go on there can be so corrupt, or just a waste of time
,
just about anything
goes there
and you spend so
much time each day in front of it,
not thinking about me
or anything,
just enjoying the
show, trying to escape your thoughts.
I waited
patiently again as you watched TV and ate your meal,
but again you didn't
talk to me.
As you did your
homework I waited again.
You did what
you had to do.
At bedtime I
guess you felt too tired.
After you said
goodnight to your family,
you plopped into bed
and fell asleep in no time.
You didn't even thank
me for the blessings I gave you today.
I
wanted to tell you that I am always there for you.
But you missed the
opportunity.
Because I love you so
much,
a long time ago I
left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to Earth.
I gave it up so that
I could save you from your sins.
I was
ridiculed and made fun of and suffered a painful
torture,
and I even died so
you wouldn't have to die for your sins.
I love you so much
that I wait everyday
for a nod,
prayer, thought or a thankful part of your
heart.
It is hard to
have a one-sided conversation.
I created you so I
could fellowship with you.
But sadly, you don't
think it is very important at all.
Well, you are getting up again, and once again
I will wait with nothing but love for you,
hoping that today you
will give me some time today.
Have a nice
day!
Your friend, Jesus --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jer 29:11-14a
(KJV)
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you
an expected end.
{12} Then shall ye call upon me,
and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken
unto you.
{13} And ye shall seek me, and find
me,
when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
{14} And I will be found of you, saith the
LORD:
Mat 11:28-30
(KJV) {28}Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will
give you rest.
{29} Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and
lowly in heart:
and ye shall find
rest unto your souls.
{30} For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Isa
45:22-23 (KJV)
Look unto me, and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth:
for I am God, and
there is none else.
{23} I have sworn
by myself,
the word is gone out of my
mouth in righteousness,
and shall not return,
That unto me every knee shall
bow, every tongue shall swear.
Rev 3:19-21
{19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
{20} Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to
him, and will fellowship with him, and he with me.
{21} To him that overcometh will I grant to sit
with me in my throne,
even as I also
overcame,
and am set down with my Father in his
throne.
