God Calling ~ Every Problem Solved
Permalink  
 

"Man has such strange ideas of the meaning of My invitation "Come unto Me."

Too often has it been interpreted as an urge to pay a duty owed to a Creator, or a debt owed to a Savior.

"Come unto Me" for the solution to every problem, for the calming of every fear, for all you need - physical, mental, spiritual.

Sick, come to Me for health.

Homeless, ask Me for a home.

Friendless, claim a friend. 

Hopeless, a refuge.

Come unto Me for everything."

Although this invitation sounds simple, I always seem to struggle with it. The reason for that is because I will try to use my human power to solve my problem and it does not work. It's only when my human resources have become totally inadequate and totally exhausted, do I reach out to God. What a fool I am! It was AA that taught me to acknowledge my utter powerlessness and seek God for everything I need.
It works!
