I dreamed I had an interview with God.
So, you would like to interview Me? Jesus asked.
If you have the time, I said.
Jesus smiled.
Of course I have the time... I have eternity.
I speak to My children everyday. What would you like to know?
What surprises you most about humankind?
Jesus answered,
That they take the goodness of the Father for granted,
that their feet are swift to run to mischief, even as the Father is slow to anger and rich in love,
that they spend their lives storing riches on earth that cannot last, and pass by the opportunity to have eternal treasures in heaven,
that by worrying anxiously on how they are going to live another day, add not a single hour to their life.
Jesus took my hand into his nail-scarred own and we were silent for a while.
...And then I asked.
As the Son of God, what are some of life's lessons the Father wants His children to learn?
Jesus replied with a smile.
I and My Father are one.
No one can come to the father unless he comes through Me,
And if you know Me, you know the Father.
My children hear my voice and know that they are loved,
And I have shown them how to love by offering myself as a living sacrifice for their sins.
I made myself low so they could be lifted up high.
I taught them to love others as themselves.
I showed them forgiveness and now they can forgive one another.
I am always here for my child and it is my desire to have more,
...as many as there are stars in the heavens above.
Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I shall give you rest.
The first time I saw this was back in grade school, for CL class. This time, I found the link on the internet and I felt like sharing what I thought about it.
Just like the first time I saw it, I agreed that the things that were said about humankind were true. Have we already lost our faith in God and traded all that we should cherish for material things? Could it be true that the advancement in our world is slowly but surely changing the way we look at things, especially religion? Are we not aware that we are slowly being transformed of all the inventions in our world?
After watching the short video again, I felt sad. It is all true. Some have already forgotten Sundays and religious holidays because other things catch their fancy. Some see going to church as a waste of time already, because instead, they can spend time using the computer, watching TV, playing games, etcetera. What is more depressing than this is that oftentimes, half of the people that are being affected by worldly things do not want to admit that they are in fact in the palm of the developed world. They refuse to believe that they are being controlled by the things and the people that surround them.
I wish that those who have left their faith could watch this. Maybe then they will see and understand what I am talking about.
