This is God speaking.
Oh, I know, I don't normally do
these kinds of things. I usually leave things up to you there, most of the time.
Of course I'll dip in on occasion, wipe off a little dirt, straighten out a
crooked line. But I leave most of it up to all of you.
Case in point: Mother Theresa. I
didn't have anything to do with her. Not a thing, except with giving a her a
soul to begin with. But I give everyone one of those, so I play no favorites.
Yes, as a bit shocking as it may come to you, Mother Theresa is who she is all
by herself. Didn't give her a thing either way. She's one of the ones that make
me proud.
Now, as I've said that I don't usually
like to involve myself in any direct sort of way, the reason I'm here now talking
to you is because I've noticed something rather disturbing to me. A sort of
domino-effect that's affecting more and more people everyday.
I'm here to talk about Y2K.
-----------------
I see that most of you know what
I'm talking about. And for those of you who don't, you're not part of the problem
anyway, so you can be on your way. And remember, I'm watching you. Even when
it looks like I'm not. I have a perfect memory, you know.
Now, for those of you who know exactly
what I'm talking about, well, I'm here to address you directly. I've noticed
a sort of gradual panic spreading daily among you. Not a great panic, not a
riot-sized disturbance, but a slimmer, quieter, daily commotion. Everyday I
notice more and more people quietly believing and acting on the idea that the
world will end soon, very shortly.
I see strangers who would normally
say hi now look past one another. Or worse yet, I am beginning to notice strangers
looking at each other like they are not brothers but enemies, divided parts
not acting as a whole.
I see families being torn apart,
not by circumstances or great tragedy, but by consensus. Families are letting
themselves be torn apart. And sometimes, they do it on TV.
I see men and women, who have treated
each other with care and compassion now treat one another with distaste, mistrust,
and plain misgiving. I have no problem with consummation before marriage. Life's
too short. I know that very well. But I don't like seeing men and women deceiving
each other and their own hearts by treating budding love with scorn and indifference.
I see individuals who are chained
to isolation, who used to long for companionship, now embrace their solitude,
and lash out at others. For example, I do not like people sending bombs to each
other through the mail. It is bad enough that whole countries do it. Opening
up an envelope shouldn't be a world-wide affair.
In short, I am not pleased.
-----------------
Now, it seems to me that this behavior
is stemming from the idea that the world is going to end. That finally, with
the hope and dreams linked with the future gone, people are free to not treat
each other and themselves well. How wrong my children can be.
First of all, the world will not
end. At least not for you. I liken it to a lump of coal who worries about becoming
a diamond. Don't worry, I would say to the coal, it will happen in due time.
Just enjoy being a coal. I will worry about the end when the time comes for
it.
Another thing that I'd like to mention
is that there is this feeling of hopelessness I see in more and more people
as time goes by. These are the people who notice how the people who are acting
on the idea that the world is going to end, are behaving, and believe that life
isn't worth struggling for. Nonsense. Life is precious. I am sure of it. I made
it that way.
To these people I would say don't
worry about these sort of things too much. For example, I see the man who spends
most of his day molesting little children. Or least hopes to molest little children
everyday. He is walking free in the city he lives in, and I do not think that
he will get caught anytime soon. I am beseeched with prayers everyday, coming
from those who are victims or know them well, and they ask that from me that
he be caught, he be brought to justice, he be sliced open in a hundred different
places and be dipped in salt. And they mourn and quietly despair when I don't
answer their call.
Well, now I'll tell you why. I am
going to deal with him when he steps over to the other side. I am waiting for
him to come. Let me remind you that I have a perfect memory. I will remind him
of that as well. And justice will prevail. I assure you of that. There is nothing
on earth that you can do to him that I can't make about a hundred, a thousand,
a million times worse.
I watch over all my children. And
I keep a careful book on each and everyone of you.
That's all I have left to do these
days.
-----------------
So, now that I've mentioned and
cleared up a few things that's been bothering me, I hope things will settle
down among all of you. Resume your normal days. Dream your hopeful, amazing
dreams. Don't forget the teachings of those who seemed to know what it's about.
I don't like to mention names, but a Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa comes
to mind. Don't live to their lives, just live up as close as you can to their
example.
And I will be here watching all
of you. And yes, I am keeping score of everything that has and will occur. You
guys and girls can't imagine how much more enjoyable you're lives can be if
you know how much fun you'll have when you finally come here to me. I always
get a personal kick out of seeing each face as they pass through the light.
Almost always they say something to the effect: "Oh. This is what I was worried
about. Oh heck." And we have a good laugh, and they ask if there's a swimming
pool around here. And I say no, there isn't.
And then I tell them, there's a
hundred right over there. And we laugh again.
So you see, there isn't much to
be worried about, at least not on the scale of the world ending and the water
running out. Just remember to turn it off while you're brushing your teeth and
you'll be fine. You have enough to worry about in your lives as it is. Let me
worry about the little things.
Thank you for your time. Sorry for
the interruption, I know it must seem a little awkward. But it's nice to finally
talk to you in person. Watching your lives every day and every hour, sometimes
I find myself sitting up off my chair and yelling down at you. I guess that
you would call it "talking to your television set". Sometimes you guys just
drive me up the wall. Sometimes you make me laugh. The ones who make me laugh
tend to get a better deal up here.
I think that I just made a joke.
You'll have to find out when you
get here.
Take care of each other, you have
no idea how closely related each of you are. Peace be with all of you.
Omnipotently yours,
God
PS
Take care of the planet as well.
It was here a long time before any of you were. You were afterwards, like on
the fifth or sixth day. So just leave the earth the way you found it. I would
appreciate it.
