JUST ONE CHOICE

And God said to me, “I’m giving you

one choice - just one choice - on how

you want me to be to you. Choose one

and that’s the way I will be to you.”

At first I said back, “You’re kidding!”

And God said, “No, I am not kidding.”

So I said, “God give me a hint.

Tell me the possibilities.”

And once more God said, “I’m giving

you one choice. Choose and that’s

the way I’ll be to you. Trust me.”

“I don’t know,” I said. “I’m confused.

What did others choose? Tell me a few.”

“Love…. Peace …. Comfort …. Presence…

Joy …. Protection….Hope…. Eternal life….

Mercy .... Forgiveness.... I got your back....”

“I don’t know God. I don’t know what to say,

I need some time - and I’ll get back to you.”
