I wrote this in response to a talk by a lay person at the weekend event last weekend.

 

God’s Question
By Larry Linville
 
“Where would you be without me?”
These words came to him from God.
He’s not sure how he heard them
but he knew it seems so odd.
 
He had started in the church
and was baptized as a teen
but he wasn’t always close
during those years in between.
 
He earned an education
then went off to fight a war
and faced life’s situations
with an ache for God that was sore.
 
“Where would I be without Him?”
he asks himself yet today.
He tries to talk about it
and find the right words to say
 
He takes his place in the church
and is nurtured as he serves.
And he does things he couldn’t do
because he had lacked the nerve.
 
“Where would he be without God?”
The answer is not so good.
But God was always been there
so in the hard times he stood.

So good to read things like this reminding us we do have someone who cares for us and looks after us. I would be noowhere without my God, I know that.
