Memo from God



I thought this was super cute!

MEMO FROM GOD


To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: THE BOSS
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE


I am God.

Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved... but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Guidance and Direction

This morning when I went to do my devotions I had a lot on my mind that I couldn't stop thinking about. I felt a little bit at a loss because there have been trials that seem like mountains, too big to climb and really scary. Well, I decided to dive into Gods word, using a book given to me for graduation I was able to study out 'Guidance'. This is what I got out of my devotion:


When you don't understand something, we need to go to God because he said he would give us the wisdom to understand it but we need to ask for it.

James 1:5-6

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."


When we don't know why we have to climb the mountain - we should ask god for wisdom how to climb and have faith that he'll help us.

Deuteronomy 31:8
"....He it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."

Gods with us, Jesus walked down the road before us and God promises that he won't forsake us or fail us, he might not remove the trial but he's going to help us through it.

Anyway, I got a blessing out of this and was able to get some help out of it so I thought I would share it with all of you. It's not much but I got some help out of it.

About Me

I'm a Servant, a Wife, and the Mother of a beautiful baby boy. I'm doing my best to walk in the light that God shows me.
