1. Quit Worrying
– Yes, life is hard, but you spend too much time and energy worrying. Have you
forgotten that I am here to take all of your burdens and to carry them for you?
2. Put It on the List
– When something is troubling you, put it on MY to-do list. Talk to me about
it. I can’t help until you turn it over to me.
3. Trust Me –
Once you have given me your burdens, quit trying to take them back. Trust that
I will take care of all your needs. The problems with the kids, the grandkids,
finances, your spouse, work and church. I already know about them. Put them 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 think, “I’m feeling stronger now, I can handle
things from here, God.” Why do you think you’re feeling stronger? It’s simple.
You gave me your burdens and I’m taking care of them, Leave them with me and
let me do my job.
5. Talk to Me –
There are a lot of things I want you to forget. Forget what is making you crazy;
forget the worry and the fretting because you know that I am in control. But
please don’t forget to talk with me. . .often! I love you; I want to hear your
voice.
6. Have Faith – I
see a lot of things up here that you can’t see from where you are. Trust me;
you don’t want the view from my eyes. Have faith in my love for you; I have
your best interest in mind.
7. Share – You
were taught to share when you were little, when did you forget? The rule still
applies. Share your stuff, share your joy, share your laughter, share your
tears and share your faith.
8. Be Patient – I
have managed to fix it so that in just one lifetime you could do a lot of
things. You get to grow up, maybe have children, change jobs, learn a trade,
travel to many places, meet many people and experience so much. How can you be
so impatient when it takes me a little longer than you expect for me to handle
things. Trust my timing; it’s perfect.
9. Be Kind – Be
sure to be kind to others, for I love them as much as I do you. They may not dress
like you, talk like you or live like you, 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 the same. I love 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, so
love me, love others and don’t forget to love yourself in the process. You are
very precious to me, don’t ever forget that.
