Thankfully GOD is patient

In despair, I said to GOD, “So what am I here for?”

 

“What is my purpose?”

 

And GOD answered as he does probably more often than I know because sometimes I’m not listening.

 

But this time I was.

 

And let me just say that Yes, GOD is he to me, male, because that’s what I grew up with.  I was talking to a man when I said my prayers as a little girl.  Later on it was still a male when I was passionately declaring

 

“Of course there’s no God that I can possibly understand.  Show me the PROOF!”

 

So yes, he’s still a male, though I’m sure that given enough effort I could talk to a woman.  It would be the same person/entity/GOD either way.

 

Anyway he gave me an answer.

 

And what did I say ?

 

“F  k you!”.

 

I can be horribly rude when challenged to do something, especially when I know it’s what I SHOULD do, what I could do, that it’s the next best thing TO do.

 

GOD just laughed in that rich, deep, loving way that he does.

 

Oops that’s a woman.  But it’s the same level of joy, either way.

 

So patient.

 

He knows me so well, does GOD.

 

He understands

 

and when I respond like that, he just laughs, waits and comes back later with the life challenge I need to overcome to make the changes he suggested in the first place.

 

He’s like that – not just instructions, but experiences to make them easier to implement.

 

Thankfully GOD is patient!!
