I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me”, God asked.

“If you have the time”, I said.

God smiled.

“My time is eternity … what questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”, I asked.

God answered …

“That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up and then long to be children again”;

“That they lose their health to make money … and lose their money to restore their health”;

“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future”;

“That they live as it they’ll never die, and die as though they had never lived”.

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked …

“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

God replied with a smile …

“To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved”;

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves with others”;

“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness”;

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, but it can take many years to heal them”;

“To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least”;

“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings”;

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently”;

“To learn that it is not always enough that they forgive one another, but that they must also forgive themselves”;

“And to learn that I am here … ALWAYS”.
