God........ I am in need of you !

I whispered, "God, speak to me" 

........& a meadowlark sang.

But, I did not hear.

So I yelled "God, speak to me"

.....& the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, I did not listen.

I looked around and said, "God, let me see you"

.....& a star shone brightly.

But, I did not see.

I shouted, "God, show me a miracle"

....& a life was born.

But, I did not notice.

Then I cried out in despair, "touch me God, and let me know you are here."

Whereupon, God reached down and touched me........

But, I brushed the butterfly away and walked on....

God is always around us, -in the little & simple things......... that we take for granted!

Even in our electronic age... :

I cried "God, I need your help"...

.....& an email arrived reaching out with 'good news & encouragement'.

But, very often I deleted it and continued crying...

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect!

Shalom
