A Desperate Soul's Prayer and Jesus Response

**A Desperate Soul’s Prayer and Jesus’ Response** (fiction) A day to the Lord Jesus is likened to a thousand years I feel as though I have already waited an eternity for my prayers to be answered Why does it take so long for my petitions to be addressed? My life is in shambles and I need some relief You said everything is possible with you, Oh God Well now it’s time to get working on my order I have a miserable existence and my children don’t obey My bills are reaching the sky And my spouse doesn’t care either It seems as though I am all alone in this situation Don’t you care, God? God’s response… My child, Do you not know how the Creator of the universe works? Do you not understand the seriousness of my labors? I do not send lightning bolts from the sky to make people obey Instead I send gentle rain showers You see, my child, when the Creator does his mighty work He continues to allow his children to make decisions on their own He simply exerts a little pressure here and there and draws them unto himself When years and years go by and a child is still disobeying me then it is at this Time when I turn up the heat in my own heavenly way I may allow a circumstance to befall you I may allow a death of a loved one to draw you closer to me I may even allow certain events to take place to draw you closer to me But it is very seldom that you will ever see me send a lightning bolt from the sky Very seldom indeed I am a loving God I am a gentle God But when centuries go by and my children continue to live in disobedience to me I have to turn up the heat a bit This is what I am about to do right now I am about to turn up the heat on the entire human race to get their attention I am calling all sinners to a complete repentance Come back to me my children Come back to me before it is too late I am your loving Creator! I am your Father God! Gwendolen Rix 8-9-14
