God’s Gift (july 22, 2005)
One day when God felt generous, He looked at me and smiled.
“Since I feel so magnanimous, I’d like to give you something child”.
He asked me what I wanted
I said, “Oh really nothing more, You’ve already done so much already”, He said, “that’s what God is for”.
“You have been pretty good”, He said.
“I know there’s not much that you seek, I will pick a little something, just to make your life complete”.
With great anticipation, I looked forward to my gift.
I wondered what God had in mind that could give me such a lift.
“This gift”, God said, “you realize, bears some responsibility. So if you accept my present, you must be willing to agree…”
“…to offer unconditionally, a section or a part, of more than half of you, the larger portion of your heart”.
“Okay God”, I answered.
“Since in you, I always trust, I’ll meet your obligation, in the manner that I must”.
To myself, I thought, “Wow what a gift!” for so much of me God has asked. Now what could be so valuable that my share was more than half…?
With both hands I sought my gift. I still did not have a clue.
Then God put your hand in mine, and said His gift to me was You!
