 An interview With God

I dreamed that I had an interview with God.

"Come in", God said, "So you would like to interview me?"

"If you have time", I said. God smiled and replied,"My time is eternity and is enough to do everything. What questions would you like to ask me?"

"What surprises you most about us human beings?"

God answered, "That you get bored of being children, and in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That you loose your health to make money and then loose your money to restore your health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, you forget the present, such that you live neither for the present nor the future. That you live as if you will never die, and you die as if you never lived"

God's hands took mine and we were silent for a while and then I asked," As a parent, what are some of life's lessons that you want us, your children to learn?"

God replied with a smile, "To learn that you cannot make anyone love you. What you can do is to let yourself be loved. To learn that what is most valuable is not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life. To learn that it is not good to compare yourself to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis! To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least"

God continued, "To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in people you love, and that ittakes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are individuals who love you dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that money can buy anything except true happiness. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see differently, yet both can be correct. To learn that true friends are those who know everything about yours and still like you. To learn that it is not always enough that you are forgiven by others, but that you can forgive yourself. To learn that all creatures on the planet are your sisters and brothers and isn't it about time to start treating them with respect and honour".

I sat there for a while in awe. I thanked God for this time together.

God replied, "You're welcome, I'm here twenty-four hours a day. All you have to do is ask. I will listen."

People may forget what you said, People may forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
