A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Mark Mcquire's hands is worth $19 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A tennis racket is useless in my hands.
A tennis racket in Venus Williams hands is Championship.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.
A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends whose hands it's in.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it's in.
Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world.
It depends whose hands it's in.
As you see now, it depends whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams,
your families and your relationships in God's hands because --
It depends whose hands it's in.
"Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me."
"If you have the time," I said.
God smiled and said:
"My time is eternity and it is enough to do everything.
What questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
"What surprises you most about mankind?"
God answered:
"That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.
That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live
neither for the present nor the future.
That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived..."
God replied with a smile:
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them.
What they can do is to let themselves be loved.
To learn that what is most valuable
is not what they have in their lives,
but who they have in their lives.
To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.
All will be judged individually on their own
merits, not as a group on a comparison basis!
To learn that a rich person is
not the one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.
To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in persons we love,
and that it takes many years to heal them.
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
To learn that there are persons
that love them dearly, but simply
do not know how to express or
show their feelings.
To learn that money can buy everything
but happiness.
To learn that two people can look at the
same thing and see it totally different.
To learn that a true friend is someone who
knows everything about them...
and likes them anyway.
To learn that it is not always enough that they
be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive
themselves."
"Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me, and I'll answer."
So the man yelled "God, speak to me!"
And, the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, "God let me see you"
And a star shined brightly.
But, the man did not notice.
And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle!"
And, a life was born.
But, the man did not know.
So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God,
and let me know you are here!"
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
It will be addressed in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!!
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen within her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and with each passing year, it only grows!
