"Do you do what i ask? Evaluate yourself honestly, do you DO what I ask? I don't mean the really big things, I mean the simple things like "pray for this person right here", "say to them that I LOVE them", or "tell this person that I see their tears and an answer is on the way"? There are so many opportunities that I invite you to participate in what I am doing. I WANT you to be part of all that I am doing! I invite you and yet most times you rebuff my invitation. Like my parable of the party, "The party is prepared, servants go tell the invited guests the dinner is ready! But the invited guests make excuses why they will not come: "I'm already commited to something else", "I have a new piece of property i just bought and want to check it out", "I'm already running behind schedule, what if they want to talk...", "what if they are not having a 'bad' day, I would look silly", "what if I'm really not hearing God correctly"... so I pass the invitation on to others. Don't you know that I PERPARED these good works in advance for you to do? Don't you realize I custom-made these opportunities and arranged events for you to be THE ONE to receive my blessings by participating? and yet you dismiss my gift to you as a nuisance, a bother, an inconvenience, something to be avoided. My heart is saddened when you reject my offer. I know that you are afraid of what might happen. BUT, my CHILD, don't you realize that I AM there, I AM watching, I AM your protector and I will NOT allow anything happen to you that I do not desire. Do you REALLY believe I AM good? Do you REALLY believe I LOVE you with a LOVE you can NOT fully understand? So I pose this question to you again, "Do you do what I ask?" ... "If you love me, keep my commandments."
