I asked "What surprises you most about mankind?" God answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
Then I asked "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want
your children to learn?" God replied "To learn that they cannot make anyone
love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that
what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they
have in their lives. To learn that a rich person is not the one who has
the most, but is one
who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open
profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal
them. To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply
do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that money
can buy everything but happiness. To learn that two people can look at
the same thing and see it totally different. To learn that a true friend
in someone who knows everything about them . . .and likes them anyway.
To learn that people will forget what you said, and people will forget
what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
So in answer to your question, do you actually hear God talking? I have
heard him say all of these ten things again and again. The problem is to
remember what he said.
