The
unbiblical version...
I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked “If you have the time” I said. God smiled “My time is eternity” “What questions 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 lose 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 if they 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?” God replied with a smile “To learn they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved.” “To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.” “To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.” “To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and it takes many years to heal them.” “To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.” “To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how 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 always enough that they be forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.” “And to learn that I am here always.”

The
words of Jesus...
I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So, you would like to interview Me?” Jesus asked. “If You have the time,” I said. Jesus smiled. “Of course I have the time, I have eternity. And, I speak to my children everyday. What would you like to know?” “What surprises You most about humankind?...” Jesus answered... “That they take the goodness of the Father for granted.” That their feet are swift to run to mischief (Prov. 6:18) even as the Father is slow to anger and rich in love (Psalm 145:8).” “That they spend their lives storing riches on earth that cannot last and pass by the opportunity to have eternal treasures in Heaven (Prov. 11:28, Matt. 6:19-21).” “That by worrying anxiously about how they are going to live another day add not a single hour to their life (Matt. 6:24-34).” Jesus took my hand into His nail-scarred own and we were silent for a while. And then I asked... “As the son of God, what are some of life’s lessons the Father wants His children to learn?” Jesus replied with a smile. “I and My Father are one. No one can come to the Father unless he comes through Me. If you know Me, you know the Father (John 14:6,7).” “My children hear My voice (John 10:27) and know that they are loved.” “And I have shown them how to love by offering Myself as a living sacrifice for their sins (Eph. 5:2).” “I made Myself low so they could be lifted up high (Philippians 2:6,7). I taught them to love others as themselves (Mark 12:30, 31).” “I showed them forgiveness and they can now forgive one another (Colossians 3:13).” “I Am always here for My children (Matt. 28:20), and it is My desire to have more--as many as there are stars in the heavens above (Romans 4).”
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I shall give you rest.”
