When
God Whispers
The man whispered
"God, speak to me"
And a meadowlark
sang.
But the man did
not hear.
.
So the man yelled
"God speak to me!"
And the thunder
rolled across the sky.
But the man did
not listen.
.
The man looked
around and said "God let me see you."
And a star shone
brightly.
But the man did
not notice.
.
And the man shouted
"God show me a miracle"
And a life was
born.
But the man did
not know.
.
So, the man cried
out in despair.
"Touch me God and
let me know that you are here!"
Whereupon God reached
down and touched the man.
But the man brushed
the butterfly away and walked on.
.
Moral of the story;
don't miss out
on a blessing
because it isn't
packaged the way you expect.
