I was sitting alone in my room the other day, and I had a talk with God.
Me: "Does that mean we should welcome pain into our lives?"
God: "It means you should be wise enough to know that pain is a part of life. You needn't
dwell on it, but you must acknowledge it as a vital component of your humanity."
Me: "Well, what about all the different religions in the world? How many Gods are there?"
God: "There's only one of me, but my children were provided with free will. They can choose
to ignore me, refer to me by other names, or condemn me."
Me: "Since you gave us free will, are you going to punish those who do not believe in you?"
God: "I said everything was part of a balanced existence. Those who do not believe will pun-
ish themselves during their journey through the vacuum of faithlessness. But inevitably, all will
come to believe as they move closer to the end of life."
Me: "But how can you expect people to believe in you when they can't see you?"
God: "You can't see the wind, but its effect on you is evident. You can walk to the edge of a
cliff and not see gravity, but do you challenge its existence by jumping off? There are forces
in the universe that are not three-dimensional; they don't have weight or density, yet their
power is unmistakable. You can't see love because its form is ethereal, existing in the hearts
of those who experience a warm and affectionate but invisible connection between them-
selves and others. Therefore, although you can't see love, you can feel its power to bring peo-
ple together and infuse them with the spirit of happiness. My son, you can believe in me or
not, but my love for you, although unseen, will not be unfelt."
Me: "Thank you, God, and happy birthday to your son."
