Trusting God

I received this in an email this morning and thought it was worth sharing.  Sometimes you wonder why you had such a bad day, when in reality, it really was a GOOD day! Enjoy!



Me (in a tizzy):  God, can I ask you something?

GOD:  Sure.

Me:  Promise you won't get mad?

GOD:  I promise.

Me (frustrated): Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?

GOD: What do you mean?

Me: Well I woke up late,

GOD: Yes..

Me: My car took forever to start,

GOD: Okay....

Me (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.

GOD: Hmmmm..

Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call.

GOD: All right.

Me (loudly): And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soakmy feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work.
Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?!

GOD: Well, let me see..... the death angel was at your bed this morning and
I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you
sleep through that.

Me (humbled):  Oh...

GOD:  I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your
route who might have hit you if you were on the road.

Me (ashamed): ............

GOD:  The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't
want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):  Oh.....

GOD:  Your phone went dead because the person who was calling was going to
give a false witness about what you said on that call. I didn't even let you
talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly):  I see, God.

GOD:  Oh and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out
all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in
the dark.

Me:  I'm sorry God.

GOD:  Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.........in all things, the good
and the bad.

Me:  I WILL trust you God.

GOD:  And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your
plan.

Me:  I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything
today.

GOD:  You're welcome, child. It was just another day being your God and I
love looking after my children.

encouraged to share!
