[Moments with God]

(God is always present but sometimes we think or feel he is absent. It is good to realize that it is we who turned our backs away from God…by sinning, by neglecting, by indifference, by unbelief… Yet God always provides us with opportunities to encounter him on the way…and when this happens…it is God’s moment…)

Sorry, I Have no TIME….

I knelt to pray

but not for long

I had too much to do

must hurry off and get to work

for bills would soon be due

And so I said a hurried prayer

jumped up from off my knees

my Christian duty was done

my soul could  be at ease.

All through the day I had no  time

To speak a word of Cheer

no time to speak of Christ to friends.

They’d laugh at me I feared

no time…no time… too much to do

That was my constant cry.

NO time to give to those in need…

At last it was  time to die.

And when before the Lord I came,

I stood with downcast eyes

within his hand He held a book.

It was the book of life.

He looked into the book and said,

“Your name I cannot find.

I was going to write it down

but never found the time.”
