<DIV>Subject: [Fwd: I Have Time] </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Read only if you have time for God. Let me tell you, make sure<BR>you read
all the way to the bottom. I almost deleted this email<BR>but I was blessed when
I got to<BR>the end.
<BR> Subject:
READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR GOD <BR>God, when I received this e-mail, I
thought...I don't have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate during
work. Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is... Exactly, what has
caused lot of the problems in our world today. We try to keep God in
church on Sunday morning... Maybe, Sunday night... And, the unlikely event
of a midweek service. We do like to have Him around during sickness... And, of
course, at funerals. However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work
or play... Because... That's the part of our lives we think...We can, and
should, handle on our own. May God forgive me for ever thinking....
That... there is a time or place where... HE is not to be FIRST in my
life. We should always have time to remember all HE has done and is doing
for us. If, You aren't ashamed to do this... Please follow the
directions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be<BR>ashamed of
you before my Father." Not ashamed? Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN
IT!! Yes, I do Love God. HE is my source of existence and is my
Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. WithoutHim, I am and will be
nothing. Without Him, I am nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil
4:13) This is the simplest test. If You Love God... And, are not ashamed
of all the marvelous things HE has done for you... Send this to ten people
AND the person who sent it to you! I don't think I know more than 10 people who
would admit they love Jesus. Do you love Him? Read this thing thaz next all the
way through. Here's: "THE POEM" I knelt to pray but not for long, I had
too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be
due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my
knees. My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at
ease. All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer. No time
to speak of Christ to friends,....They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no
time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls
in need But at last came time, the time to die. I went before the Lord. I came
and I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the
book of life. God looked into his book and said <BR>"Your name I cannot
find." I once was going to write it down... But never found the time."
<BR>Now do you have the time to pass it on? Make sure that you scroll through to
the end. Here's something else to read: "Easy vs. Hard" Why is it so
hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie? Why are we so sleepy
in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up? Why is it
so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about trash? Why is it so
boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty
one? Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e- mail, but yet we forward all
of the nasty ones? Why are the churches getting smaller but yet thebars
and dance clubs are getting larger? Do you give up? Think about it. Are you
going to forward this, or delete it? <BR>Just remember-God is watching you.
Prayer Wheel- Let's (not) see the devil stop this one!! Here's what the
wheel is all about. When you receive this, say a prayer for the person that sent
it to you.... That's all you have to do.... There is nothing
attached.... This is so powerful.... Do not stop the wheel,
please.... Of all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best
one.... There are no costs, but there are wonderful rewards...<BR>GOD
BLESS! May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn't give you chills, nothing
will...this message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this
story. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of
the title on it? Here's one last thought: There once was a man named
George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he
came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the
pulpit. Eyebrows were raised as he placed it on the pulpit. as if in response,
Pastor Thomas began to speak..."I was walking through town yesterday when I saw
a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the
cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright. I stopped the
lad and asked, "What yougot there, son?" "Just some old birds," came the
reply. "What are you gonna do with them?" I asked. "Take 'em home
and have fun with 'em," he answered. "I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their
feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time." "But you'll
get tired of those birds sooner or later. Then what will you do?" "Oh, I
got some cats," said the little boy. "They like birds. I'll take 'em to
them." The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those
birds, son?" "Huh?? !!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister.
They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!"
"How much?" the pastor asked again. The boy sized up the pastor as if he
were crazy and said, "$10?" The pastor reached in his pocket and took out
a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.
The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the valley
where there was a tree and a grassy spot. Setting the cage down, he opened the
door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them
free. Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the
pastor began to tell this story. One day Satan and Jesus were having a
conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating
and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set
me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"<BR>"What are you
going to do with them?" Jesus asked. Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm
gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and
abuse<BR>each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. How to haev sex before
marriage. <BR>I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each
other for no reason but hate. I'm really gonna have fun!" "And what will
you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked. "Oh, I'll kill 'em,"
Satan said as he glared proudly. "How much do you want for them?" Jesus
asked. "Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no<BR>good. Why, you'll take
them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You
don't want those people!!" "How much?" Jesus asked again. Satan
looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your blood, tears and your life." Jesus
said, "DONE!" Then He paid the price. The pastor picked up the cage
he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit. Notes: Isn't it funny
how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's headed
to hell. Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow
Satan(who, by the way, also "believes" in God). Isn't it funny how you can
send a thousand jokesthrough e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you
start sendingmessages regarding the Lord, people think twice about
sharing? Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you
will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they
believe or what they will think of you for sending it to them. Isn't it
funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what
God thinks of me. I pray, for everyone who sends this to their entire address
book, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them. And don't forget to
send it back to the personwho sent it to you, to let them know that indeed it
was sent out to many more and they're not alone.I may not know the future, but I
DO know the One who does. Take a Stand today... Start with this!!! I luv all u
guys & gals, thaz why i sent this to u. But God loves u more, so please
don't just
ignore:)<BR>
