Memo from God

Effective Immediately,
please be aware that

there are changes

YOU need to make in YOUR life.

 

These changes

need to be completed

in order that I may fulfill

My promises to you to grant you

peace, joy and happiness in this life.

 

I apologize for any inconvenience,
but after all that I am doing,

this seems very little to ask of you.

Please, follow these 10 guidelines

TEN GUIDELINES: 

1. QUIT WORRYING:

Life has dealt you a blow

and all you do is sit and worry.

 

Have you forgotten that I am here
to take all your burdens

and carry them for you?

Or do you just enjoy

fretting over every little thing

that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:

Something needs done or taken care of.

Put it on the list.

 

No, not YOUR list.

Put it on MY to-do-list.

Let ME be the one

to take care of the problem.

 

I can't help you until

you turn it over to Me

and although My to-do-list is long,

I am after all... God.

 

I can take care of anything

you put into My hands.

 

In fact, if the truth were ever really known,

I takecare of a lot of things for you

that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:

Once you've given your burdens to Me,
quit trying to take them back.

 

Trust in Me.

Have the faith that

I will take care of all your needs,

your problems and your trials.

Problems with the kids?

Put them on My list.

Problem with finances?

Put it on My list.

Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For My sake, put it on My list.

 

I want to help you.

All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:

Don't wake up one morning and say,
"Well, I'm feeling much stronger now,

I think I can handle it from here."

 

Why do you think

you are feeling stronger now?

 

It's simple.
You gave Me your burdens

and I'm taking care of them.

 

I also renew your strength
and cover you in my peace.

 

Don't you know that

if I give you these problems back,
you will be right back where you started?

Leave them with Me

and forget about them.

Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME:

I want you to forget a lot of things.

Forget what was making you crazy.
Forget the worry and the fretting

because you know I'm in control.

 

But there's one thing I pray you never forget.

Please, don't forget to talk to Me - OFTEN!

I love YOU!

I want to hear your voice.

I want you to include Me in

on the things going on in your life.

I want to hear you talk

about your friends and family.

 

Prayer is simply

you having a conversation with Me.

I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH:

I see a lot of things from up here

that you can't see from where you are.

 

Have faith in Me

that I know what I'm doing.

Trust Me;

you wouldn't want the view from My eyes.

I will continue to care for you,

watch over you,
and meet your needs.

You only have to trust Me.

Although I have

a much bigger task than you,
it seems as if you have

so much trouble just
doing your simple part.

How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE:

You were taught to share

when you were only two years old.

When did you forget?
That rule still applies.

 

Share with those

who are less fortunate than you.

 

Share your joy with those

who need encouragement.

 

Share your laughter with those

who haven't heard any

in such a long time.

 

Share your tears with those

who have forgotten how to cry.

 

Share your faith with those

who have none.

8. BE PATIENT:

I managed to fix it

so in just one lifetime
you could have so many diverse experiences.

You grow from a child to an adult,

have children,
change jobs many times,

learn many trades,
travel to so many places,

meet thousands of people,

and experience so much.

 

How can you be so impatient then

when it takes Me a little longer than you expect

to handle something on My to-do-list?

 

Trust in My timing,

for My timing is perfect.

Just because I created

the entire universe in only six days,

everyone thinks I should always

rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND:

Be kind to others,

for I love them just as much as I love you.

 

They may not dress like you,

or talk like you,

or live the same way you do,

but I still love you all.

 

Please try to get along,

for My sake.

 

I created each of you different in some way.

It would be too boring if you were all identical.
Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF:

As much as I love you,

how can you not love yourself?

 

You were created by me

for one reason only --

to be loved,

and to love in return.

 

I am a God of Love.

Love Me.
Love your neighbors.

But also love yourself.

It makes My heart ache

when I see you so angry with yourself

when things go wrong.

You are very precious to me.
Don't ever forget.
