A Conversation with God
I was struggling. I was depressed. There was no tragic trigger, or single event that caused my mental tailspin. It sprang to life in soil polluted with a toxic buildup of all the little spats, annoyances and struggles of everyday life. It's a time of transition in our household, and working through both personal and professional issues laid me low. My heart was powerless. I felt so alone. So, I prayed. Actually, I prayed by writing the chant below. Writing a prayer while chanting is a bit unorthodox I know; but to my astonishment, our loving Father answered my prayer. My "prayer" is below, followed by the reply that He typed through me:
It's not about me. It's about Him.
It's not about me. It's about Him.
It's not about me. It's about Him.
It's not about me. It's about Him.
It's not about me; it's about Him.
It's not about me; it's about Him.
It's not about me; it's about Him
It's not about ME; it's about HIM!
It's not about me; it's about HIM!!
It's not about me; it's ALL about HIM!
It's NOT about ME; it's ALL about HIM!
It was never about me; it's always been about HIM!
It was NEVER about me; it's ALWAYS been about HIM!
It has never been about me; it's always been about HIM!
It has never been about me; it's always been about HIM!
It HAS NEVER been about me; IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HIM!
It HAS NEVER been about me; IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HIM, and it will be forever!
IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT ME; IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HIM, THROUGHOUT ETERNITY!
IT HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT ME, AND IT NEVER WILL BE; FOR TIME ETERNAL, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HIM, AND IT SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN THUS!
It's not about me.
It's not about me.
It's not about me.
It will NEVER be about me. It will always be about HIM.
"It's not about you. It has never been about you. It's ALWAYS BEEN about me.
That's MY plan for YOU.
I LOVE you. Deeper than the deepest canyons of my earthly creation, wider than the heavens that soar above you.
I'm your father and I know what is best for you.
You aren't ready. But I will prepare you. Keep up the dialogue. Keep up the good work. Keep coming back.
Clean out your mind. Dust away the crumbs and cobwebs. As you do I will be there for you.
You are my child. You are my child. YOU are MY CHILD. Remember that I loved you first. and I love you the most."
I'm no prophet. I don't lay claim to any special hotline to our Dad. I'm just a regular guy, a sinner, who struggles with doubt, fear, and sin. His reply blew me away. I've never heard Him so clearly before, and I don't know that I ever will again. Nevertheless, I did; and the blessing that it's brought to my life is immeasurable. My God...OUR God is GOOD!
