READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE…Time For God


God, when I received this message, I thought I don't have time for this. Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is exactly, what has caused a lot of the problems in our world today. We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning, maybe even Sunday night and the unlikely event of a midweek service. We do like to have Him around during sickness and of course, at funerals.
However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play. Because that's the part of our lives we think we can, and should, handle on our own. May God forgive me for ever thinking that there is a time or place where HE is not to be FIRST in my life. We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us. If you aren't ashamed to do this please pass on this message. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father." Not ashamed? Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!

Yes, I do Love God. HE is my source of existence and Savior. HE keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing. But I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13) This is the simplest test if you love God and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you.


THE POEM

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.

No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time."

 

Now do you have the time to pass it on?
Make sure that you read through to the end.


Easy vs. Hard


Why is it so hard to tell the truth but yet so easy to tell a lie?

 

Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?


Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?


Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?


Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?


Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?

Do you give up? Think about it! Are you going to pass this on, or ignore it?


That's all you have to do…
There is nothing attached…
This is so powerful…
Do not take this lightly, please…
Of all the free gifts we may receive, prayer is the very best one…
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards. GOD BLESS!
May God keep you and bless you.


Notes:

Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell?

Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God)?

Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?

Isn't it funny how when you go to pass on this message, you will not send it to many you know because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them?

Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me?

I pray, for everyone who passes this on to all the people they know, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them.
