God Tells Three Stories
God said:
I ask you: How are you today?
You answer: “Fine, thank You.”
If you think a moment, you realize this is your true answer. Listing your complaints is only skin deep. If you really and truly knew you were standing right before Me, it would surprise Me if you would give Me a list of all your recent irritations. I know you wouldn’t. For one thing, you might be so dumbfounded at My appearing and My question that you might be struck dumb. Perhaps, at the moment, you would not be able to think of one thing you need or even most desired a moment ago. It’s possible that My appearing right before you is all you could think of if you could think at all.
Let me tell you an old story from long ago times. It may be a true story of an old very poor man who was so good and worthy that I, God, visited him on Earth and asked him what I could give to him as a reward for all his goodness and the understanding and merit he held those in who had less than he. With all, he shared his crust of bread.
This old man didn’t race in with a whole list. He thought a few moments and then asked for only one thing:
“God, do You mind? Could I have a little butter with my bread?”
What a simple story of humility pure and simple without trying to be humble.
