Memo From God
David Langerfeld
Sept 6, 2007
MEMO FROM GOD:
Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes you need to make in your life.
These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill my promises to you to grant you
peace,
joy and happiness in this life.
1. QUIT WORRYING
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to
take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing
that comes your way?
2. PUT IT ON THE LIST
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do list.
Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me. And
although my to-do list is long, I am after all, God. I can take care of anything you put into my hands.
In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things that you never even realize.
3. TRUST ME
Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that
I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on
my list. Problem with finances? Put it on my list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For my
sake, put it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE
Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from
here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave me your burdens and I'm
taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I
give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with me and
forget about them. Just let me do my job.
5. TALK TO ME
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting
because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please don't forget to talk
to me OFTEN! I love you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the things going on in
your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation
with me. I want to be your dearest friend.
6. HAVE FAITH
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know
what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you,
watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a much bigger task
than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. SHARE
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies.
Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement.
Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those
who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8. BE PATIENT
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a
child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet
thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes me a little
longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect.
Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you,
or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of
you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please know I love each of your
differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only.... to be
loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It
makes my heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious
to me. Don't ever forget that!
Members of the Methodist women's church circle in one Wisconsin town some
years ago were disturbed because a widowed church member and her three
small
daughters were staying away from services. Finding the reason to be a
lack
of suitable clothes, the ladies' group corrected the situation in a generous
manner.
When the little girls still failed to appear to Sunday School, some of the
ladies called to inquire about their absence. The mother thanked them
sweetly for the clothing and explained:
'The girls looked so nice, I sent them to the Presbyterian Church!'
When we look at the magnitude of the trials that surround us, it is easy to become overwhelmed
and,
in our panic, think that God has forgotten us. David often expressed such feelings of anxiety
and despair
(Ps 31:22; 13:1-4; 28:1-5; 31:1-13, etc.)
The antidote to David's panic was praise (Ps 13:6; 26:7,12; 28:6-7, etc.). When he praised God, he was
able
to stop staring at the object of his suffering and see, instead, the goodness of the Lord. As his eyes
moved off of his troubles and onto the Lord, his heart was strengthened with hope and joy.
Rather than trusting his own fearful heart in the midst of doubt and despair, David confidently placed his
trust in God's unfailing love. An ever-present source of strength, God's love filled him with wonder and hope
(Ps 13:5; 17:7; 23:6; 26:3; 31:7,16,21, etc.).
Like a shepherd guiding his flock, God shows his unfailing love by tenderly prodding us in the way we should
go. When we begin to stray, he gently nudges us back with his rod. When we get tangled in the cares of
this world, he carefully lifts us to safety with his staff and carries us in his arms. As we begin to grasp the
depth of God's love, we can rest in his care and follow him willingly, finding comfort in his gentle nudges,
trusting his hand to guide us in the way of love and truth
(Ps 17:5; 23:4; 26:1,3; 28:7,9; 31:5-6,14-15, etc.).
Lord, when my trials overwhelm me, help me to resist the voice within me that falsely accuses you of
indifference and injustice and fills my heart with fear and doubt. When my mind begs to know "Why" or
"How long," calm my spirit with a song of praise to you. As I proclaim aloud your praise and tell of all your
wonderful deeds, melt the fear within me and show me the wonder of your great love. Open my eyes to
your love that is "ever before me" (Ps 26:3). As I walk in your truth, help me to trust in your unfailing love
and confidently say, "You are my God. My times are in your hands" (Ps 31:14-15). Fill my heart with joy and
peace as I learn to trust you. Fill my mind with your truth. Fill my mouth with praise to you and with David's
exhortation to fellow sufferers, "Be brave. Be strong. Don't give up. Expect God to get here soon"
(Ps 31:24 Msg).

A Scotsman, planning a trip to the Holy Land, was aghast when he found
it would cost fifty dollars an hour to rent a boat on the Sea of Galilee.
"Hoot mon," he said, "in Scotland it wouldna ha been more than $20."
"That might be true," said the travel agent, "but you have to take into
account
that the Sea of Galilee is water on which our Lord Himself walked."
"Well, at $50 an hour for a boat," said the Scotsman,
"it's no wonder He walked."

A dentist came home to his wife excited about the day's events. He
had met a fellow dentist who had served in the mission field using
his dental skills.
"Marge, I think the Lord wants me to work with the poor in Central
America. They are in great need of dental care," He explained with
enthusiasm.
"Dear husband, it isn't civilized down there. I've heard that they
have cockroaches the size of bats. And no running water."
"Marge, the Lord will provide for our needs and we will be able help
people who really need us. Bedsides, I am sure the Lord is calling
me to do this."
"How do you know the Lord is calling you to do this?"
"Well, I just feel it, and it's in the Bible."
"In the Bible? What verse?"
It's from Psalms 81:
'I, the LORD, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of
Egypt; OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT.
(Psalms 81:10, NASB)'"
A police car pulled up in front of an older woman's house, and her
husband climbed out. The polite policeman explained that "this elderly
gentleman" said that he was lost in the park and couldn't find his way
home.
"How could it happen?" asked his wife. "You've been going to that park
for over 30 years! How could you get lost?"
Leaning close to her ear so that the policeman couldn't hear, he
whispered, "I wasn't lost - I was just too tired to walk home."
These bodies become less cooperative as we age. For some, work becomes
less fun and fun becomes more work. One older friend commented, "I've
reached the age where the warranty has expired on my remaining teeth
and internal organs."
But I like the spirit of Charles Marowitz. "Old age is like climbing a
mountain," he says. "The higher you get, the more tired and breathless
you become. But your view becomes much more extensive."
Atop the mountain, one has a better view of the world. One can see
above the differences that divide people. One can better see beyond
petty hurts and human fragility. Atop the mountain, one has a longer
view of the past and can therefore understand the future with more
clarity. Atop the mountain, one looks down on dark clouds of gloom and
despair and fear and notices that they are neither as large nor as
ominous as those beneath them would believe. It is also clearer that
however dark they may appear, they too, are fleeting and will someday
pass.
George Bernard Shaw said, "Some are younger at seventy than most at
seventeen." I think it is because they have a broader outlook.
It will take a lifetime to climb the mountain, but, for me, the view
will be worth the journey.
