When God Speaks

What if you could have just one wish completely free of any strings? What would you wish for? Would it be material, emotional, someone? I want you to think long and hard about this. You see, it is so easy to name things we don’t have. But, what about those things that you do have? Do you appreciate them? Do you treasure them? Do you say thank you, God for this that I have?
When something is in our possession we tend to act as if it is no big deal because we already have it. But, do you have it in full? To have something in full is to treasure it, take care of it, keep it close to you and coddle it. When you do these things the value goes up. As when you neglect these things, the value depreciates. The law of value is how much you value it and how much you remember its worth.
We do this with relationships, too. What is right in front of us and at one time meant the world to us begins to sit and collect dust as we run toward the next thing forgetting how special that person was to us at one time and how we longed and wished for them to be in our lives. The heart is deceitfully wicked and cannot be trusted.
Why can we not continue to adore that person we wished for at one time? Why can’t we remember the good stuff once we have them?
A word of advice: Never neglect a gift given that you wished for. That gift is more valuable today than when you received it. Value goes up, not down and while you are chasing other things that gift can easily be taken from you. I hope that is not the case with you. That one is a tough pill to swallow and all the wonderful things you neglected will storm your mind for a long time. Memories come flooding back over and over. Things that you shoved aside begins to come back to your mind with a vengeance and the pain. Oh, the pain. Pain so bad that you’re not sure you will make it and at times don’t even want to make it. Think about these things. Hold on to that gift. Appreciate it, value it, hold on to it and never let go.
So, what if you could have just one wish? What would it be?
