A Conversation with God I've committed my life to Christ and tried to walk by faith, Deep within my heart, I want to be a man of God. Yet sometimes I feel discouraged and alone, Alone in my struggles to be a man of God. Then God said to me: I know what you are going through. Why don't you play your life to Me as your audience. I'll give you the acceptance and love you need. But I kept looking for results and results have always made me afraid. Then God said to me: Just play your life to Me as your audience and leave the results to Me. Be not concerned with the crowd But seek to please Me Play your life to Me not the crowd. I've compared myself to other Christians and tried to live like all of them and uniformity proves to be a hurdle. Then God said to me: Just be yourself for the body is not one member but many and an eye is not an ear. So just be yourself and play your part consistently to Me. I'm a Christian, I'm a man, a man with feelings, Yet sometimes I'm afraid to own my feelings. Then God said to me: I've made man so be free to be human, be free to own your feelings but do not deny Me. I've committed my life to Christ and with all my heart, I want to be a man of God. Yet sometimes I've found myself anxious and restless inside. Then God said to me: Anxiety and restlessness are not signs of the non-Christian life for in the world you shall have tribulations. But they may be signs indicating that something is out of balance, stop and look. They are signs pointing you back towards Me. They shall produce patience and patience develops character and character begets hope. But I've found it uneasy to be restless or discouraged! How do I get out of this pit? Then God said to me: Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I'll give you rest. | |||||||||
