A Youth's Conversation with God!

A youth speaks to God!

Dear God,

I am not an Aethist,
I believe in You,
I know You exist,
I know You do!

Now that I am a youth,
I have things to do.
I can't be talking,
The whole day to You!

I have projects, tests &
Classes to attend.
I need time to exercise &
My diet, I have to plan.

I have work to complete,
Matters to attend!
Friends to meet,
Personal needs to tend!

I can't be just sitting, waiting
& be staring into space,
And be talking to You God
I think it is a waste!

Do You know God,
That time is money!
The world is in a rush God,
Without $ I can't get a Honey!

I am no more a child God,
Have responsibilities to see to!
I am now a youth God,
Have important things to do!

Do not get me wrong,
I know You're in every place!
I believe You are strong,
You cover me with Your Grace!

I know You care for me
Don't think I need to repent
No time to bend my knee
I know You'll receive me in the end!

Your loving son/ daughter.

God's response to that youth ...

A poem well written dude! Great to know that you are all grown up. But sad to say, you have been blinded by the ruler of this world Satan himself, into thinking that since you are grown up, you don't need to spend time  with Me and that you can go about your work, do what you want to do and don't have to repent.  Well you really think you don't need Me now, do you? And why would you not tell Me sorry after hurting Me? Do you think My Grace covers all your unrepentant sins? You are terribly wrong My child. My Grace gives you the courage to repent, My Grace covers your shame and it helps you to walk in My Way again. Never does My Grace allow you to walk proudly with an unrepentant heart.

Can you remember the time when you were still a child in faith? You used to read My Word and delight in it!  You used to spend your waking hours with Me, consulting Me in every matter! You delighted in Me and I delighted in your childlike trust.

Now you are all grown and big and you don't have time for Me??? Do you think you can succeed on your own dude? Are your friends going to stand by you till the end?  Are they even leading you to Me? Are you leading them to Me?  You need Me more than I need you! Yes you do! Don't you get it? 

My Son kept reminding you in Matthew 18:3 NIV...
And He said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Yes, become like a child again,  My child. Have a child like faith in Me. Run to Me with child like simplicity and humility. If not you will find it difficult  to enter into My heavenly abode! Simply knowing that I am there for you, does not mean that you have a child like faith in Me. Having a child like faith is in trusting Me with your first waking hour, trusting Me with your busyness, your work and all your projects, planning, management and finances, even with your life's choices of activities, friends and a life partner. Whatever you put into My hands, I will shake them and multiply them for you beyond measure. Trust Me like a child again.

Remember what My Son said in Luke 6:38 NIV
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
This has often been used only to refer to the giving of your finances. But try Me, My child, just try Me! Whatever you give Me, your time, your energy, your sleep, your finances, your rest, will be multiplied for you. It is My heavenly law and it is irreversible.

The rest of it, your heavy load at work, your heartaches, failures in life, your problems, etc will be greatly reduced and will be done with when you come to Me. Bring your sins to Me, ask Me to forgive you, with a repentant heart. I will wash them away with the blood of My Son Jesus. Didn't my Son tell you in Matthew 11:28 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest." Just trust Me and try Me, My child.

Spend time reading your life"s guidance manual, the Bible, instead of spending your time on useless movies, games and on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc . All you need to know on how to succeed in every area of your life is spelt explicitly in My Word .Take time to read it, meditate upon it and understand it with the help of My Spirit, the Holy Spirit. In times of need and trouble, He, My Spirit, will bring My Word to your mind and lead you gently out of trouble.

My Son Jesus kept telling you to remain in Him in  John 15:4 NIV
"Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me." Yes my child you will never bear fruit and never ever succeed if you remain outside of Me. This IS THE TRUTH. There is no way around it. When My Words abide in you, My Words will transform you back into My own image and likeness. Then success will come automatically.

Dude listen carefully, you are My child irregardless of whatever age you are. You can never succeed without Me. You need Me in every fibre of your being. I Am the One, Who holds you together. I Am the breath, in your lungs. I Am your heartbeat. I Am your very energy. If you remove Me you will cease to exist.

Come to Me as soon as you awake. Put your entire day into My hands. Then talk to Me as you do your duties throughout the day. It is easy when you develop a habit of recognising My presence and cultivate a close walk and an intimate relationship with Me.
I long for that intimate relationship with you My child. The more time you spend in My presence, more will be given to you supernaturally. You will still have time to do what you have planned to do and you will have balance time to relax. Remember that time is in My hands. I can and will stretch it supernaturaly just for you when You abide in Me!

Come abide in Me and I will abide in you my child. As you spend quiet time with Me, you will begin to see what I see and feel what I feel towards mankind and you will know My heartbeat. You will cry for what I cry and rejoice for what I rejoice. It is then, when you will truly begin to save people from going to hell.

Become a child again my beloved and run into My arms, your Papa's waiting arms My baby! 

I Am waiting for you with My arms open wide!.

From your loving 

Dad in heaven (Who longs to abide in you)!
