Christian Reflection and Prayer

The man whispered, "God, speak to me"
and a meadowlark sang.

But, the man did not hear
So the man yelled, "God, speak to me"
and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said,
"God let me see you."
And a star shined brightly.

But the man did not see.

And, the man shouted,
"God show me a miracle."
And, a life was born.

But, the man did not notice.

So, the man cried out in despair,
"Touch me God, and let me know you are here."

Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away .
and walked on.

(I found this to be a great reminder that God is always
around us in the little and simple things that
we take for granted even in our electronic age
So I would like to add one more:)

The man cried,
"God, I need your help!"
And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news
and encouragement.

But, the man deleted it and continued crying

           Don't miss out on a blessing
                  because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
