Just Do Not Have the Time
n the morning as I awake tired and groggy I slowly open my eyes to start the day
Although at first all I can think of is that first cup of coffee, as the cat whines
for food, the husband yaps at me I notice I am not in the greatest mood
Although when I wake up a little more I hear knocking on my hearts door
i know it is Jesus Asking to come in I just tell him latter not now
I am in a hurry don't you see Everybody else is counting on me
I have so much stuff to do and just no time for you So I finish my coffee
and play games on my phone An hour latter I leave home
Slowly I make my way to school I toss my stuff down as I sign in
I talk to my friends as they see me Come in
Although within my heart once again I hear a cry Child why not spend time with me
Oh can't you see I yell I am just to busy Okay okay
I will wait but please hurry before it is too late you'll be waiting a long time
I have too much on my mind I have lawyers, courts to deal with
I have school family Friends that need me
Decisions and choices to make and the voice than asked me
Oh child when will you ever see All you need to do is choose is me
Lord I told you I am just to busy There is too much going on in my life
I don't have time to read your word I have to much strife along with all
these problems ..Aha haven't you heard
No child you never speak with me
Remember there is never enough time in your day
to kneel down on one knee
and Pray to me You don't even know me and
Yet you call me Lord
Oh yes I do I tell you the truth
Oh child you are blind
You never let me lead You never give me the time
When is the last time that you read my words
or even gave me five minutes in your day
Child child when is the last time you even
prayed?Last night when I ate dinner
I said grace and I read a short devotion for a few moments in church
But lord I have to work
You should know Lord I do spend time with you and I do pray
That is when he asked For who you?
What about your sister who told you
things that were wrong in her life
You said you would pray for her
But yet you lied
Oh lord Cant you see I just do not have the time
I have to many things going on in my life and
to many problems on my mind child
I see that you really do not love me
Because if you did you would be kind to others and pray daily
Lord you know I have a good heart
you made me in your image
Child you spend all your time worshiping you
That is not why I made you
What do you mean I asked?
Child if you love me this is what you would do
You would think of others besides just you
I do lord I think of them everyday
Yet you do not even pray
To the creator that made you
Think of it have you ever had a chance to put him first Yes...
Then why don't you direct your heart to thirst for him
Your right I have ignored him
Child just know I am with you where ever you go
In your trials In your sorrows
But child be careful what you put off for tomorrow or it may be too late
and death than would be your fate Chose today Child and pray
You have enough time in your life To make you mine
