[Conversing with God in the Garden, our Secret Place]
"I've been thinking a lot about You and the people of this generation lately.
People of this generation demand true friendship and love when they lack these qualities themselves. They are restless, often distracted. And they forget of what is essential in life.
Some chase after the wind. They spend their life pursuing temporal pleasures and hoarding on money. At the end they are starving for love and meaning.
Why would people seek their own treasures when You are the source of all treasures?
[I paused. And grieved.]
And some people misunderstand You. They blame You for their troubles and sufferings. They don't really know You, and yet they slander against You. Some treat You as a gene thinking that their wishes will come true when they pray to You. So many people take You for granted.
And they often forget that You are a Person with feelings.
(How will they feel if someone treated them that way?)
Oh Lord, how do You bear with humanity? You have been so patient with us.
How many people truly understand Your heart?
Remember that I am Your friend. I want to be close to You.
Keep me till the end."
