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 work. So I waited.
When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew 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. Then I
saw you spring to your feet, I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran
to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.
I watched as you went to 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. That's okay, 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. I don't know if I like TV or not, just
about anything goes there & you spend a lot of time each day in front of it,
not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. 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, as 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. That's okay, because you may
not realize that I am always there for you.
I've got patience more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you
how to be patient with others as well. 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 be ridiculed and made fun of.
I even died so you wouldn't have to take my place. I love you so much that I
wait everyday for a nod, a prayer, a thought or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
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. Have a nice day.
Your friend,
Jesus |
