The phone call

I am wishing for you a happy Monday.
One morning in the middle of last week a little thought entered my mind, what if God should ever decide to use man's means of communication? As I thought about this some ideas began forming so I got my pen and a piece of paper and began writing. Three hours later after typing what I had written I had to decide whether to share it or file it on my computer. I decided to share it in another forum to see how well it would be received. It was well received so I have decided to share it here also.

The phone call

The nice music you heard playing just now was my cell phone ringing

I did a quick check and it revealed an unknown person was calling

Although some callers can be quite irritating and annoying

Courtesy dictates I reflect my joy and pleasure in answering

It was well I did so, a voice even more pleasant than mine for me was inquiring

And it transmitted a familiarity that said about me he knew everything

Who could this be? I was mystified and musing

Today he had decided to make use of man’s way of communicating

So he had made a cell phone call instead of heart and mind inspiring

Yes, he identified himself as the Eternal One the great and mighty king

The cell phone almost fell from my hand as my heart began racing

Because instinctively I knew it was he and the truth he was telling

He had heard all the prayers I had been daily praying

And my three greatest wishes today he will be granting

I had no desire to rush and delayed by requesting time for considering

He was ever so gracious and gave the exact time when again he was dialing

I sat to contemplate the things from him I would be requiring

As the great Eternal One he could not back down from what he was promising

 “Is there anything too hard for me to do?”  That was his boasting

And I intended to make great and grand whatever I was requesting

I wanted money for King Solomon said money answers all things

With money I could have everything and excesses overrunning

But deep down I knew I had so much that the wealthy was lacking

I did not want money to deny me the pleasures of these enjoying

I could enjoy divine favor by asking for his blessings

But I did not want what came with his blessing, pain and suffering

Then there were my enemies, I would like to see avenging

I did enjoy testing him by being to those that hated me kind and loving

If this was removed I just feel something will be missing

I could ask that diseases be removed and I enjoyed perfect healing

This would remove my patient enduring that so many found inspiring

One by one I eliminated what in my life I thought was top ranking

And whatever I asked he would surely be granting

Three choices of anything I wanted became really confusing

Then it dawned on me that I was focused on temporary cravings

I considered then what was eternal and lasting

And made up my mind what I will be choosing

First although really scary I desired his favor and blessings

Second a guarantee of in his eternal presence living

Third that his perfect will my life be reflecting

He was right on time calling and he knew that I was laughing

But I knew he would not be annoyed but rather would be smiling

For so often I had murmured and complained of his ignoring my praying

I had focused on this life and what made for comfortable living

Now I was  given the chance I was opting for the everlasting

And he laughed knowing I was trusting my all into his keeping
