Dear ,
Change for Life
You may need to make changes in your life so that you may experience MY Peace and Joy:
1. QUIT WORRYING- Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?
2. PUT IT ON THE LIST- Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me.
3. TRUST ME- Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE- Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me do my job.
5. TALK TO ME- Please don't forget to talk to me. OFTEN! I love you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the things going on in your life. I want to be your dearest friend.
6. HAVE FAITH- I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing.
7. SHARE- Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8. BE PATIENT- how can you be so impatient when it takes me a little longer than you expect to hangle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect.
9. BE KIND- Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please know I love each of your differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF- You were created by me for one reason only- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget that. With all my heart I Love you, God.
