Do you know God’s language?
Have you ever lived with God? How can one see God? Can you see Him by praying and begging? How can one see God better? Can you see Him by obeying His commands? Yes, each of these show God to us in some way. See God in tests!
You will know what He wants. You’ll live with Him. When you have lived with Him, you’ll gradually know Him.
“God, I really didn’t know You are so sensitive about this matter. You immediately put me into this test.”
Have you ever lived with God? With the active God! What does God want from you when you leave here now? If you sit in a taxi, who is sitting next to you? He is talking to you. For example, a music is playing in the taxi. Someone is saying something, which is wrong or right. God is looking at you. Can you understand His language?! Do you say anything? For example, you give some advice. But, God doesn’t let you go.
“What was your intention in saying this?” “God, You said he shouldn’t sin. I told him not to sin. I invited him to do good, not bad.” “What was your intention in doing this?” “I hadn’t thought about my intention very much.” “Look. Why did you say that?” “God! Didn’t you say we should discourage people from doing bad? I got in the car and saw that he is saying something wrong. I discouraged him from doing the wrong thing.” “Look at yourself. Did I only want you to discourage others from doing bad, for them to grow? What about your own growth?” “What about me?! I advised him. Now he is being tested whether he listens or not.”
“No, I still want to ask you. When you argued with him and he accepted, did you see how you were pleased? Your will enjoyed it. Haven’t you grown yet? You wanted to enjoy yourself?” “God! I obeyed Your command.” “You were pleased because My command was done and you loved Me? Or was it enjoyable because you ruined his mood and he was silenced? )the sound of coughing) You even coughed proudly afterwards.”
I understood you (audience) didn’t understand this cough was a part of my performance. That is why I explained it.
“Now, let’s see what you do next time.” He gets out of the car and goes home. His wife happens to say something bad to him. He shouts, “Why did you say that?!” God says, “It’s a test. I wanted to see if you will understand what I am doing to you when I ruin your mood after your big success in the car and becoming so pleased.”
May I be sacrificed for you. Look at yourself as being in a test and the world as a test, you’ll see God. You’ll see His presence. You’ll see His actions. You’ll see His tendencies. You’ll see what He wants from you. You will even know God! You won’t know a person until you live with him! If you live with God, will He be silent? Did you think that He is sitting up there and signed for you, “Rain, snow, and bread. Give them to him. Let’s see what he does.” Then, he is sitting up there without anything to do. Then, I tell you to know God? No! He is living with you in each moment.
Live with God. See Him. He is working with you in each moment. In each moment! “God, I really didn’t know that You are so sensitive about this matter. You immediately put me into this test.” See God in tests.
