10 Guidelines From God

Just sharing what I had received from a friend (ages ago) and I have no idea who wrote it, but I was so touched
by it, that I had to share it with you. I hope that you will be blessed by it and will share it with others.... Hope you'll enjoy reading it too.

Effective Immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be
completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life.

I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines:-

1. QUIT WORRYING:
   Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens
   and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
   Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one
   to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after
   all... God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of
   a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:
   Once you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of
   all your needs, your problems and your trials.
   Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
   Problem with finances? Put it on My list.
   Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
   For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
   Don't wake up one morning and say,"Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do
   you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple.
   You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't
   you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started?
   Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME (Pray):
   I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy..
   Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control.. But there's one thing I pray you never forget.
   Please, don't forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love YOU!
   I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life.
   I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. I want to be your dearest friend.

   Prayer = simply you having a conversation with Me.

6. HAVE FAITH:
   I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing.
   Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your
   needs. You only have to trust Me.
   Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part.
   How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE:
   You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies.
   Share with those who are less fortunate than you.
   Share your joy with those who need encouragement.
   Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time.
   Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry.
   Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT:
   I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an
   adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of
   people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to
   handle something on My to-do-list?
   Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect.
   Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND:
   Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the
   same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some
   way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

1. LOVE YOURSELF:
   As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and
   to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself.
   It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong.
   You are very precious to me.

Don't ever forget......
Touch someone with your love. Rather than focus upon the thorns of life, smell the roses and count your blessings!

"Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except those things outside the will of God.

May your days be filled with answered prayers.

God bless us all always."
