Whew! You inspire me!

 

Well, if God can’t inspire you, who in hell can? Are You always this flip1?

 

I meant that not as a flippancy2. Read it again.

 

Oh.   I see.

 

Yes.

However, it would be okay if I were being flip, wouldn’t it?

 

I don’t know. I’m used to my God being a little more serious.

 

Well, do Me a favor, and don’t try to contain Me. By the way, do yourself the same favor.

It just so happens I have a great sense of humor. I’d say you’d have to when you see what you’ve all done with life, wouldn’t you? I mean, sometimes I have to just laugh at it.

It’s alright, though, because you see, I know it’ll all come out all right in the end.

 

What do You mean by that?

 

I mean you can’t lose in this game. You can’t go wrong. It’s not part of the plan. There’s no way not to get where you are going. There’s no way to miss your destination. If God is your target, you’re in luck, because God is so big, you can’t miss.

 

That’s the big worry, of course. The big worry is that somehow we’ll mess up and not get to ever see You, be with You.

 

You mean “get to heaven”?

 

Yes. We’re all afraid of going to hell.

 

So you’ve placed yourself there to begin with in order to avoid going there. Hmmmmm. Interesting strategy.

 

There You are, being flip again.

 

I can’t help it. This whole hell thing brings out the worst in Me!

 

Good grief, You’re a regular comedian3.

 

It took you this long to find that out? You looked at the world lately?

 

Which brings me to another question. Why don’t You fix the world, instead of allowing it to go to hell?

 

Why don’t you?

 

I don’t have the power.

 

Nonsense. You’ve the power and the ability right now to end world hunger this minute, to cure diseases this instant. What if I told you your own medical pro-fession holds back cures, refuses to approve alternative medicines and procedures because they threaten the very structure of the “healing” profession? What if I told you that the governments of the world do not want to end world hunger? Would you believe me?
