If you had the opportunity to meet with God, face to face and you had to ask him questions you’ve been dying to ask him all your life, what would you say?
Well, this is what I would say, and even though this scenario did not physically take place, I am certain the Holy Spirit influenced the answers of my character of God. May the Holy Spirit be the one that helps YOU find your own answers to some of the painful questions you might have about life to God. Enjoy!
Me (*sigh*): Well, what a journey, you’ve known me even before I knew myself but me knowing you personally, it’s been almost 10 years!
God (*smiles*): Well, the journey is only just begun, there’s so much of me that I still want to show you and there’s so much of you that you still need to experience! 10 years? It feels like a day!
Me: A day? Some moments in my life felt like a decade! There are situations that I’ve faced over the years, that at the time I was certain they would kill me.
God: Nothing is above you kid, I always weigh it before I okay it…I trust you so much that I’m absolutely sure you can conquer anything.
Me: Anything? Lord I doubt it, I….
God (*cuts me off*): That is the problem, YOU DOUBT too much, you have no idea the power allocated to you through my son Jesus…with his resurrection, he shared his power with you.
Me: But somethings are just sooo hard to get over! So many of us are facing tremendous problems everyday and we are so drained from them all that it becomes so hard to trust you in our difficult times.
God: I never left you alone, the Holy Spirit is always there for comfort and my Word for strength…
Me (*I cut God off*): Well sometimes all we need is an answered prayer, So Sorry for cutting you off.
God (*holds my hand*): Its alright, this is a conversation between friends, I want you to be able to tell me how you feel, anytime you feel it.
Me (*i blush*): I just don’t want to be rude.
God (*smiles*): You are honest and I love that about you. To answer your distress, sometimes an unanswered prayer is an answered prayer. Most of my kids need to be broken, taken apart and rebuilt in order to have them functioning on their full potential.
Some need to be taught to wait and trust completely through their waiting process. You need to understand that some lessons can only be given and learnt through your going through the fire. The fruits of the spirit for example, you do not learn such by being on the top of the mountain, you learn it while in the deepest valley so that when you reach the top, you already know everything you need to know to be able to sustain yourself there. My servant Paul is of great example of this, he said he knew what is to have and what it is to not have at all. He was a man who layed silently in the fire because he understood that times change and when they do, your spirit has to be able to rise above anything.
Me: Wow, that’s a mouthful, but I do understand what you mean. Its a ll about patience, perserverence, prayer, persistence and the power of resilience right?
God (*smiles*): You are a smart kid (chuckles), I knew you’d be like that.
Me (*BIG smile*): Its still hard though, sometimes it feels like I’m all on my own, I cry to you in so much pain because it feels like my problems are weighing me down and I feel so lost, so empty, so hopeless…
God (*comforts my heart*): Well kid, isn’t there something wrong with what you saying? Faith is not a feeling, its a decision. If you are going to base your entire life on how “YOU FEEL”, you will miss out on a great deal of blessings. Sometimes, all I want from you is a simple decision to believe me against the odds or the seemingly failing situation. I want you to be able to witness my power to save you, no matter what situation you’re facing. I want you to be able to say “God can provide for me a job, money when I’ve run out, heal me from cancer and so forth”. How is the world going to know that I Am the Great I AM if my own children refuse to display my mighty power because they “feel” it is way too much to bear?
Me: I’ve failed you in that regard haven’t I? I mean, I sometimes complain, a lot.
God (*smiles knowingly*): You are human, you are justified! I just want you to trust me like you trust the sky is blue, imagine the possibilities and I’ll make them a reality.
Me: I do trust you, but for some odd reason, I always lose patience because it always seems like you never answer me when I really want you to.
God: Time is VERY important to me, all the universe is guarded by time. Everything knows its time, its season BUT with you, I bless you everyday. Some blessings though, even if I granted it at birth, they need time to mature and to fully develop into your desire. I blessed you with a loving man the moment you were born, but that blessing has been awaiting its maturity because at 10 years old, you are unable to appreciate and acknowledge its value in your life and so if it comes early, it automatically turns into a curse. That is why so many of my children abuse their blessings because there is no room to appreciate it.
Me: Do you think we sometimes miss our time? I mean when we are meant to receive such blessings, do we miss it?
God (*smiles*): You ask good questions. Yes! Sadly, some of my children miss their opportunity to be blessed because at the time, their life is occupied with a completely different course to that of their initial purpose. They put the more important things on hold, they procrastinate and pursue what seemingly makes them happy for that moment. And when the opportunity arises for them to be blessed, they are not in their area of blessing. Remember the 10 virgin girls?
Me(*I nod*).
God: Well the five waited and constantly checked their oil while the other grew tired of waiting and slept not realising they had run out of oil, when they ran to buy some, they came back to find that it was too late, the groom had arrived and the door was shut. This is a classic case of what my children are doing daily. They sleep! They don’t wait upon the Lord…If the groom promised to come, the groom will surely come.
Me: I don’t want to miss my blessing.
God: You won’t. If you walk with me, there will come a time when I won’t even have to tell you about the times, you will already know what time it is.
Me: I will know my time to receive something big from you?
God: Yes, just like my servant David knew he would contour Goliath even before he slayed his head. When you are in me, you become aware of the power to do all things. I become who you are and you dwell in who I Am.
Me: This is great news. This means, with you I can do all things.
God: There you go.
Me: God, this has been a great chat, thank you for reminding me that You are a great God and that You have my best interest at heart because You love me.
God: I’m always here to talk, for whatever reason you might need me for, I’m always available to you. Its like you always say…
Me (*cuts God off*): “you can go anywhere you want when you walking on your knees”.
God (*laughs out loud*): That’s the second time you’ve cut me off.
Me (*i laugh with joy in my heart*): You did say this was just a conversation between friends.
God laughs some more and so do I, he touches my hands with his and envelopes me in his arms…he places the warmest kiss on my cheek and says “I love you so much”…there’s tears of joy streaming down my cheeks and I say “I know, I love you too”. He later waves me goodbye and says “I’m right here, over there and everywhere, I’m always with you in spirit”.
*This is how I imagine it could be if I met God face to face*
