Your Friend, Your Father, Your Savior

God, are you out there?  

Yes, my child I am right here, hearing every word you say.

I listen in the darkness, when you are “alone”. I listen in the light, when you are surrounded.

I do what is right for you, not what you want.  You may think I am not here, but I am.

When you are scared, unsure, afraid, happy, glad, upset, sad; you can talk to me and I will always listen.

I am your friend, your father, your Savior.

I like it when you talk to me. 

It makes me happy. 

When you don’t, I am still here, but I am afraid to help you.

Will you like my help?

Will you shut it out?

Will you shut me out?

I only want what is best for you.

I know it hurts sometimes, but I love you.  I would never hurt you, without it bringing pleasure later.

If you look at your life, you will see that the things that have hurt you, were for the best. 

At the time you would not agree, but now, I hope you see.

I love you!

I am your friend, your father, your Savior.

Believe in me, talk to me, pray to me.

I will always be here.  Even when you don’t think I am.

I am waiting, watching, listening for your call for help.

When I hear it, I act. 

Remember, my time and your time are two different things.

My time is eternity, your time is now.

It may take longer than you like, but I will help you!

I am your friend, your father, your Savior.

“What should I do?” you ask me.

You should put your faith, your life in my hands.

But what if…?

No what ifs! I love you, I will protect you!

Why did it happen to me?

I love you, I will protect you, but I want you to be strong. 

Adversity makes you strong.

Remember, I will never put anything on you, you cannot handle.

When your load gets too heavy, place it on my shoulders.

I will carry your burdens and take care of them

I am your friend, your father, your Savior.
