Tired of: "Forward this to five people"

Each week I get emails from friends who have forwarded me a great thought or emotional plea but at the bottom of the page is always something like, "Send this to 5 -20 friends and you will have a prayer come true or something great will happen to you". 

I have never heard of a prayer to the Lord being answered because you sent this email to other people's "inbox".  Yes the Lord does have an INBOX but it has been around since the beginning of time with Adam and Eve.  His Inbox is never full and he will give you one of three answers.  "Yes"- I want to bless you right now; "No"- because it is not good for you at this time; and "Wait"- Now is not the right time for this blessing but keep coming back to learn when the time is right.

Lifting your prayers to the Lord is just one of the communication links available to everyone.  The Lord wants a one on one relationship and the blessings from that relationship may not be money, cars, a new house or other expensive desires, but a peace in knowing that the Lord WILL take care of you. 

The next time you get a great story that you want to share with others just take the part off at the bottom where you HAVE to send it forward in order to get a reward.  Your reward is that you have friends in which to share insights and compassion. Think about it YOU have firends!   Period. 

Never foward  because of some potential great gain that you will get because you hit the SEND button.

Just my thought on the matter!
