I dreamed I had an interview with God

I dreamed I had an interview with God
2
So would you like to interview me God asked
if you have time, I said
3
God smiled
my time is eternity
4
what questions do you have in your mind?
5
What surprises you most about humankind?
6
God answered,
that they get bored with childhood
7
and rush to grow up
then they long to be children again
8
that they lose their health to make money
and lose their money to make health
9
that by thinking anxiously about the future
they forget the present
10
such that they neither live in the present nor
in the future
11
that they live as if they will never die and die
as though they had never lived
12
God's hand took mine
and we were silent for a while..
13
and then I asked
As a parent what are some of life's lessons you
want you children to learn?
14
To learn that they cannot make anyone love them ..
All they can do is let themselves be loved
15
To learn that it is not good to compare
themselves with others..
To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness
16
and it can take ages to heal them.
To learn that it only takes few seconds to open
profound wounds in those they love..
17
To learn that a rich person is not the one who
has the most
but one who need the least
18
to learn that there are people who love them
dearly, but simply do not know how to express
their feelings
19
To learn that two people can look at the same
thing and see it differently
20
To learn that it is not enough that they forgive
one another, but they must also forgive
themselves
21
Thank you for your time, I said humbly
22
Is there anything else you'd like your children
to know?
23
God smiled and said
24
Just know that I am here
Always
