READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR GOD
God,
when I received this e-mail, I thought... I don't have time
for this and, this is really inappropriate during work. Then,
I realised that this kind of thinking is... Exactly, what has
caused lot of the problems in our world today.
We
try to keep God in church on Sunday morning... Maybe, 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.
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"
