Looking for me? Well, you won’t find me reading the Bible anywhere because I know longer need to read it. You won’t find me in church because I don’t need to go anymore.
So what happened to me? Well, I have to tell you my story from the beginning.
My life was going fairly good but at times I had some troubles that I did not know how to fix much less handle it. I was confused and lost often. Even though I thought life seemed to be pretty good, I still felt I was missing something. Then one day, I got an offer that I could not refuse. It required me to make changes in my life which at first I really did not want to do. I had to confess that I was screwing up and needed help. I tell ya, once I was able to admit that, I felt so great…at peace.
Soon after, I had to work hard on many things that seemed to take up so much of my free time. For one thing, I had to read…a lot!! I also had to speak to my Counselor everyday. Not only that, I had to trust my Counselor more than anyone else. I also had to attend a group session once a week. It was different at first but after awhile I wanted to go more than once aweek. Of course it was hard in the beginning because I had many old habits to overcome but after awhile, it got easier….or so I thought.
When I got deeper into this offer, things started to change in a way that I did not expect. Some of you started looking at me funny. You called me names and even a few of you had spitted on my face. Others thought I was crazy because I spoke to my Counselor everyday. You made jokes and treated me like I was stupid. You did not care but my Counselor understood what I was going through. He kept my hopes up as He strengthened me. A few of you told me that I am wasting my time. As a matter of fact, some of you no longer wanted to be my friend. I tried to reason with you and convince you that my Counselor could be a big help to you but you refused. You said that you were just fine and that you did not need any help. All I could do is grieve for you.
So after years of dedication and hard work, I find myself growing weary. I thought about giving up and even thought about not talking to my Counselor anymore. Most of you kept trying to change me back to my old self. But somehow I hung on because I kept on believing that the offer is genuine! All of you kept bickering at me and said I was nuts. You kept saying that I did not know which way I was going. Remember? But I told you that you were going the wrong way but you didn’t listen.
Well, here it is…today. I have been invited to live with my Counselor. You can have everything I ever own because my Counselor will provide everything for me. I will no longer be laughed at, spit on, curse at, hated, beaten or anything else that is hurtful. I am living in my new home and there is nothing that can ever hurt me again. I no longer will be a problem to you. As a matter of fact, you have a much bigger problem that you’ve always had but never knew about it until now. It’s a problem you really don’t want to have and you really need a Counselor to overcome it.
Still, I really hope to see you folks again. I certainly hope it will be a joyous reunion for all of you but you have to accept an offer from my Counselor and trust Him.
If you want to know what the offer is, read the book that you kept saying I was wasting my time with but you have to hurry because time is short and that is NO JOKE!
Hope to see you there!!
Child of God,
