YOU NEVER TALK TO ME ANYMORE

 

--author unknown--

(Gen 28:16-17 KJV) 

And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said,

 Surely the LORD is in this place;

and I knew it not.

{17} And he was afraid, and said,

How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God,

 and this is the gate of heaven.

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 school.

 

I waited again.

 When you ran around the house getting ready,

I thought 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.

I thought you wanted to talk to me

but then I saw you spring to your feet.

and you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.

 I watched as you went to school or 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.

How sad.

 But 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 ,

 The things that go on there can be so corrupt, or just a waste of time ,

just about anything goes there

and you spend so much time each day in front of it,

not thinking about me or anything,

just enjoying the show, trying to escape your thoughts.

 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.

  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.

You didn't even thank me for the blessings I gave you today.

  I wanted to tell you that I am always there for you.

But you missed the opportunity.

 

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 save you from your sins.

 I was ridiculed and made fun of and suffered a painful torture, 

and I even died so you wouldn't have to die for your sins.

I love you so much that I wait everyday

 for a nod, prayer, thought or a thankful part of your heart. 

 It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.

I created you so I could fellowship with you.

But sadly, you don't think it is very important at all.

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 today.

Have a nice day!

Your friend,
Jesus

 

Love in Christ
