LISTEN TO ME

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. I know, I already gave you the 10

Commandments. Keep them. But follow these guidelines, also:

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?

Something needs to be 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 that! With all

my heart, I love YOU!

GOD
