I love these sort of emails...a friend sent it to me and I want to share...
“Pardon the interruption, Lord, but I have a question...
Being omnipotent and all powerful as You are, able to make impenetrable mountains and raging seas, umm...can You please explain why You made me so weak and faulty?
I try so hard to be good, and yet I make so many mistakes and fail for all the world to see. And the inside is even a bigger mess than the outside.
I am as weak-- as dust scattered in the wind, as needy as a newborn.
Any chance for a recall?”
“You want to question My design?”
“Uh, that’s not what I meant…”
“You are exactly the way I made you to be. The earth and the sea have no need for Me. Yes, you are fragile in comparison, but you have something they don’t. You have a need for My grace and Mercy. It’s a need that you fight now and then; yet it is one that you can not avoid. Yes, you are as weak as dust, but I made you that way so that you would need Me. "
“But look at this dust all around me. I can’t clean it up…”
"Are You sure? I’m a big mess.”
“I have a big broom.”
