Guidelines From God
(I do not know who wrote this, but if you know, please email me as I would

Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to
make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may
fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this
life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this
seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines
1. QUIT
WORRYING: Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. 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: Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list.
No, not YOUR 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. And although
My to-do-list is long, I am after all... God. I can take care of anything
you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take
care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.
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. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional
roller coaster? For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you
have to do is ask.
4.
LEAVE IT ALONE: Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much
stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are
feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking
care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't
you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back
where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do
my job.
5. TALK
TO ME: I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you
crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control.
But there's one thing I pray you never forget. 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 hear you talk about
your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me.
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. Trust Me; you wouldn't
want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you,
and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much
bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing
your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7.
SHARE: You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did
you forget? That rule still applies. 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: I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many
diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children,
change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet
thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient
then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on
My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I
created the entire universe in onlysix days, everyone thinks I should always
rush, rush, rush.
9. BE
KIND: Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They
may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I
still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. 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: As much as I love you, how can you not 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. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when
things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget......
Note: I
rec'd this from a friend and I have no idea who wrote it, but I was so
touched by it, that I had to share it with you. I hope that you will be
blessed by it and will share it with others.
Touch
someone with your love. Rather than focus upon the thorns of life, smell
the roses and count your blessings.
