“I'm Fine ”
written by

You say "I'm fine", but are you?
You ask the Lord to speak to you,
but He says "Are you ready to listen?"
"Yes Lord." So God says, "How are you?"
You say, "I'm fine." "Are you?" God replies.
"Yes Lord, after all, I have a house, a family, and my bills are paid each month.
I love my family, I love to do for them and be there for each member as I am needed.
I love my house, my clothes, my car, my church.
I love my friends and the time I spend with them."
"So, how are you?"
"God I do not know what you mean?
"I know I don't spend as much time with you as I used to.
I am not as involved in my church as I should be.
I do not give you all the praise for my blessings.
I do not share your word and love others as I should.
I do not take time to listen to you.
All I do is want this or need help to get through that,
but I leave you out of the thanks.
I take credit for what you have done for me and through me.
I'm sorry. I owe it all to you.
My house, my family, my car, my clothes, my bills and my money.
My day, and most of all, my life.
Lord, I'm sorry. Please forgive me and cleanse my heart, I give it all to you."
God simply replies, "So, how are you?"
"Lord I'm lost, I need you."
"Yes my child, you are FINE!"
