If God came to you
(From the Woodsman’s Notebook)

Sometimes I wonder just what you would do
If God said I’m coming to visit you, just what you would do? Would you worry? Would you hide? Would you offer to pick him up and give him a ride?
If God called you on the phone, just what you would do? Not answer as if you were not home? Would you answer with a voice of fear? Would you give praise that he is near?
If God came to your house in the middle of the night, just what you would do? Would you let him in until first light? Would you say please stay with enthusiasm and delight?
If on the street God passed you by, just what you would do? Would you shutter? Would you cry?
If God came to you with a simple request, just what you would do? Would you pass it to the next? Would you leave it for the rest? Would you jump at the task to do your best?
If God came to you with a gift to share, just what you would do? Would you accept them with loving care? Would you dare to look him in the face with an ungrateful stare?
If God came to you with the burdens he bares, just what you would do?
Would you attempt to comfort and console him and understand his ware? Would you make an attempt to help him fare? Would you just look past him with heartless stare?
If God came to you asking for your help, just what you would do? Would you offer with heart and soul? Would you help to meet his goal? Would you pass him by with no time to show?
What would you do if God closed his door?
