Ten Guidelines 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 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 take care 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 differently 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 ......
Touch someone with your love, rather than focusing upon the thorns of
life, smell the roses and count your Blessings.
