The interview with God
I dreamed I had an interview with God ,
“So you would like to interview me?” God said
“If you have the time .” I said.
God smiled
“My time is eternity …..what question do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind ?”
God answered …
“That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up and then long to be children again.”
“That they lost 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 in neither the present nor the future.”
“That they live as if they will never die, and die as though had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for awhile.
And then I asked,
“As a parent what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness .”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not get know to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your time,” I said humbly.
“Is there anything else you’d like your children to know?”
God smiled and said…
“Just know that I an here.”
“Always.”

对上帝的采访
我梦到我曾经采访过上帝
“那么你真的要采访我吗?”上帝问到
“假如您有时间的话。”我说
上帝笑了
“我的时间是永恒的,。。。那么在你心里有什么问题要问我呢?”
“关于人类,什么事情最让您惊讶呢?”
上帝回答到……
“他们对孩童时代感到厌烦,他们快速成长,接着却渴望再做一次小孩。”
“他们牺牲自己的健康去赚钱,然后又花钱去修复他们的健康。”
“在忧虑未来的时候,他们忘记了现在,以致他们既不生活在现在也不在未来。”
“他们活着时就好象他们不会死亡,他们死的时候却好象从来不曾活过。”
上帝之手带走我的思绪并且我们沉默了一会。
接着我问到:
“作为一名父亲,你希望你的孩子们可以吸取哪些生活的教训?”
“去懂得他们不可能让每个人去爱他们,所有他们能做的是让自己被爱。”
“去懂得拿他们自己与别人比较并不是好事。”
“懂得通过实践宽恕之心去宽恕他人。”
“懂得打开一个深刻的伤口只需要几秒钟,却要花多年时间去抚平它。”
“去懂得一个富有的人并不是那个拥有最多的人,而是那个需要最少的人。”
“去懂得有人深爱着他们,但是并不只是简单的表示知道或显示感觉。”
“去懂得两个人看同样的一件事可能得到的感觉是不同的。”
“去懂得只是宽恕别人是不够的,他们还必须宽恕自己。”
“谢谢您给予采访的时间。”我恭敬地说
“还有其他东西需要让您的孩子们知道的吗?”
上帝微笑着说:
“只要知道我在这里。”
“永远。”
剑风:珍惜现在,珍爱今天,珍贵一切。
别忘了你从何而来,现在何处,意欲如何,
时间和空间都铭记,你一定要知道,
天上有爱我们的神,关注我们的上帝。
