Interview with God(Author unknown, found in August 2001) |

| I dreamed I had an interview with God. |
| “Come in”, God said. “So, you would like to interview Me?” |
| “If you have the time”, I said. |
| God smiled and said: “My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?” |
| “What surprises you most about human beings?” |
| God answered: |
| “That they get bored of being children, are in rush to grow up, and then long to be children again." |
| "That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health." |
| "That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live never for the present nor the future." |
| "That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived...” |
| God’s hands took mine and then he asked... “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?” |
| “To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved.” |
| “To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives.” |
| “To learn that it is not good to compare themselves with others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis!” |
| “To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.” |
| “To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in people we love, and that it takes many years to heal them.” |
| “To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are people that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.” |
| “To learn that money can buy everything but happiness.” |
| “To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally differently.” |
| “To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them... and likes them anyway.” |
| “To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves.” |
I sat there for a while enjoying the moment. I thanked Him for His time and for all that He has done for me and my family, and He replied, “Anytime. I’m here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is to ask for me, and I’ll answer.”
