Imaginary chatting with GOD

This file has been sitting in my old folder for two years, I was amazed to found this accidentally while I was searching for other file.

This is a very good imaginary chatting that I have translated from Bahasa Indonesia and modified a litle bit into English. I don’t know who the original author is, I wish I knew.....whoever she/he was, I would like to say thank you for enhanced my spirit.
Hope you’ll find this enhanced your spiritual life as I have.

Here is the translation

GOD : Are tou calling me?

ME :Calling you? No... who is this?

GOD : This is me, I heard your prayer, so I wanted to have a chat with you.

ME : Yes, I always pray just to make me feel better, but at the moment I am busy, very busy.

GOD : Busy?, what make you busy?

Me : I don’t know, but I don’t have time even only a second, every moment is busy.

God : You absolutely right, activities gives you busy, but productivity gives you products.
Activity takes time, productivity releases time.

ME : I know that, but I can not avoid it. Frankly, I don’t expecting you to chat like this.

GOD : I just wanted to solved your time problem, and give you some advices. In this
internet era, I wanted to use the comfortable medium rather than a dream for example.

ME : All right…..all right!, now… tell me, why life is so complicated?

GOD : Well sttop analyzing life, just do it, analyzing life make your life complicated.

ME : Well then, why we human never feel happy?

GOD : Today is tomorrow’s problem, you are worrying yesterday. You are worry because you are analyzing, worried is your habit, that’s why you never feel happy.

ME : But how could we not worry if there are lots of uncertainties.

GOD : The uncertainty can not be avoided, but worrying is a choice.

ME : But, so many people wounded because of uncertainty.

GOD : Wounded can not be avoided, but anguish is a choice.

ME : So, if anguish is a choice, why the good people always suffer?

GOD : A Diamond cannot be polished without rubbing, gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people went through the difficult time without suffering, with that experience their life become better not the other way around.

ME :So you mean no matter how bitter the experience is always useful?

GOD : Of course, in every angle of life, experience is a best guru; experience gives test and then understanding.

ME : But why we have to go through all these tests? Why can’t we live without problems?

GOD : Purposeful roadblocks offering beneficial lessons to enhance mental strength and the strength from inside can take you out from the problems, not to be lazy.

ME : Frankly, with all these problems, we don’t know where to go.

GOD : If you look outside, you wouldn’t know where you go, but look inside!, To look outside you are dreaming, to look inside you are wake, your eyes gives you sight, heart gives you direction.

ME : Sometimes success gives me anguish, what can I do?

GOD : Success is a measure that made by other people. Satisfaction is a measure made by yourself. To know the direction is more satisfied than to know where you are going. Walk with compass and let others chasing with time.

ME : In difficult time, how do I keep myself motivated?

GOD : Always look how far you’ve been walked rather than how long you have to walk. Always count things that you have, don’t count things that you don’t have.

ME : What interest you about human?

GOD : If they suffer, they ask ’why me?’, when they happy they don’t ask ’why me?’

ME : Sometimes I asked myself, “who am I?“, Why am I here?

GOD : Don’t look out who you are, but be what you want to be. Stop asking why you are here, but create the purpose of your life. Life is not a process of find out, but a process of creation.

ME : How do I make life better?

GOD : Deal your past without regret, keep today with faith and prepare the future without fear.

ME : One more question please, sometimes I feel my prayer did not get the answer.

GOD : No prayer without answer, but sometimes the answer is NO.

ME : Thank Lord for this beautiful chatting.

GOD : Ok! keep your faith, and throw your fear away, Life is a mystery to be solved. Trust me! Life is beautiful if you know how.

ME : Thank you very much my Lord.
