[Faith-talk] No Time

[Chad Nelson]

Hi Paul, that really makes me think that I sure don't talk to him as much as I really need to. Thank you for bringing that to our attention today.

Now I'm sure that, at one time or other, you found yourselves in the same position as the recipient of this "letter" from Jesus.  Here it is for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

Maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to Me, that is why you didn't bow your head.  You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to Me briefly before they ate, but you didn't.  That's okay.  There is still more time left.  And I have hope that you will talk to Me even yet.

> I waited patiently again as you watched TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to Me.
> 
> As you did your paperwork I waited again.  You did what you had to do.  At bedtime I guess you felt too tired.  After you said goodnight to your family, you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.  That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you.  I've got patience more than you will ever know.  I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.

> Because I love you so much, a long time ago I left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to Earth.  I gave it up so that I could be ridiculed and made fun of, and I even died so you wouldn't have to take My place.  I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayers or thought or a thankful part of your heart.  It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
> 
> Well, you are getting up again and once again I will wait with nothing but love for you, hoping that today you will give me some time.  Have a nice day!

> Well folks, that is your letter from Jesus to you, both individually and collectively.  Maybe tomorrow in the Refuge Room on the Interactive Christian Community (ICC) I can read it, if all are in agreement.

Oh yes, I know the usual things:  Pray, read the Bible and ask the Lord to give me a spirit of encouragement, but sometimes it's a good thing to contact others over this matter.  The three broadcasters here who read my messages probably have gone through periods in their internet radio career when they felt like giving up.  Anyway thanks for any responses.  Remember, I'm not after your money like NPR or PBS stations do in their begathons, but merely responses.
