AKU : Memanggilmu? Tidak.. Ini siapa ya?
TUHAN : Ini TUHAN. Aku mendengar doamu. Jadi Aku ingin berbincang-bincang denganmu.
AKU : Ya, saya memang sering berdoa, hanya agar saya merasa lebih baik. Tapi sekarang saya sedang sibuk, sangat sibuk.
TUHAN : Sedang sibuk apa? Semut juga sibuk.
AKU : Nggak tau ya. Yang pasti saya tidak punya waktu luang sedikitpun. Hidup jadi seperti diburu-buru. Setiap waktu telah menjadi waktu sibuk.
TUHAN : Benar sekali. Aktivitas memberimu kesibukan. Tapi produktivitas memberimu hasil. Aktivitas memakan waktu, produktivitas membebaskan waktu.
AKU : Saya mengerti itu. Tapi saya tetap tidak dapat menghindarinya. Sebenarnya, saya tidak mengharapkan Tuhan mengajakku chatting seperti ini..
TUHAN : Aku ingin memecahkan masalahmu dengan waktu, dengan memberimu beberapa petunjuk. Di era Internet ini, Aku ingin menggunakan medium yang lebih nyaman untukmu daripada mimpi misalnya.
AKU : OKE, sekarang beritahu saya, mengapa hidup jadi begitu rumit?
TUHAN : Berhentilah menganalisa hidup. Jalani saja. Analisalah yang membuatnya jadi rumit.
AKU : Kalau begitu mengapa kami manusia tidak pernah merasa senang?
TUHAN : Hari ini adalah Hari esok yang kamu khawatirkan kemarin. Kamu merasa khawatir karena kamu menganalisa. Merasa khawatir menjadi kebiasaanmu. Karena itulah kamu tidak pernah merasa senang.
AKU : Tapi bagaimana mungkin Kita tidak khawatir jika ada begitu banyak ketidakpastian.
TUHAN : Ketidakpastian itu tidak bisa dihindari. Tapi kekhawatiran adalah sebuah pilihan.
AKU : Tapi begitu banyak rasa sakit karena ketidakpastian.
TUHAN : Rasa sakit tidak bisa dihindari, Tetapi penderitaan adalah sebuah pilihan.
AKU : Jika penderitaan itu pilihan, mengapa orang baik selalu menderita?
TUHAN : Intan tidak dapat diasah tanpa gesekan..Emas tidak dapat dimurnikan tanpa api. Orang baik tidak dapat melewati rintangan, tanpa menderita. Dengan pengalaman itu hidup mereka menjadi lebih baik, bukan sebaliknya.
AKU : Maksudnya pengalaman pahit itu berguna?
TUHAN : Ya. Dari segala sisi, pengalaman adalah guru yang keras. Guru pengalaman memberi ujian dulu, baru pemahamannya.
AKU : Tetapi, mengapa kami harus melalui semua ujian itu? Mengapa kami tidak dapat hidup bebas dari masalah?
TUHAN : Masalah adalah rintangan yang ditujukan untuk meningkatkan kekuatan mental. Kekuatan dari dalam diri bisa keluar melalui perjuangan dan rintangan, bukan dari berleha-leha.
AKU : Sejujurnya, di tengah segala persoalan ini, kami tidak tahu kemana harus melangkah...
TUHAN : Jika kamu melihat ke luar, maka kamu tidak akan tahu kemana kamu melangkah. Lihatlah ke dalam. Melihat ke luar, kamu bermimpi. Melihat ke dalam, kamu terjaga. Mata memberimu penglihatan. Hati memberimu arah.
AKU : Kadang-kadang ketidakberhasilan membuatku menderita. Apa yang dapat saya lakukan?
TUHAN : Keberhasilan adalah ukuran yang dibuat oleh orang lain. Kepuasan adalah ukuran yang dibuat olehmu sendiri. Mengetahui tujuan perjalanan akan terasa lebih memuaskan daripada mengetahui bahwa kau sedang berjalan. Bekerjalah dengan kompas, biarkan orang lain berkejaran dengan waktu.
AKU : Di dalam saat-saat sulit, bagaimana saya bisa tetap termotivasi?
TUHAN : Selalulah melihat sudah berapa jauh kamu berjalan, daripada masih berapa jauh kamu harus berjalan. Selalu hitung yang harus kamu syukuri, jangan hitung apa yang tidak kamu peroleh.
AKU : Apa yang menarik dari manusia?
TUHAN : Jika menderita, mereka bertanya, "Mengapa harus aku?". Jika mereka bahagia, tidak ada yang pernah bertanya, "Mengapa harus aku?"
AKU : Kadangkala saya bertanya, siapa saya, mengapa saya di sini?
TUHAN : Jangan mencari siapa kamu, tapi tentukanlah ingin menjadi apa kamu.
Berhentilah mencari mengapa saya di sini. Ciptakan tujuan itu. Hidup bukanlah proses pencarian, tapi sebuah proses penciptaan.
AKU : Bagaimana saya bisa mendapatkan yang terbaik dalam hidup ini?
TUHAN : Hadapilah masa lalumu tanpa penyesalan. Peganglah saat ini dengan keyakinan. Siapkan masa depan tanpa rasa takut.
AKU : Pertanyaan terakhir, Tuhan. Seringkali saya merasa doa-doaku tidak dijawab.
TUHAN : Tidak Ada DOA yang tidak dijawab. Seringkali jawabannya adalah TIDAK.
AKU : Terima kasih Tuhan atas chatting yang indah ini.
TUHAN : Oke. Teguhlah dalam iman, dan buanglah rasa takut. Hidup adalah misteri untuk dipecahkan, bukan masalah untuk diselesaikan. Percayalah padaKu. Hidup itu indah jika kamu tahu cara untuk hidup.

A CHAT WITH GOD ...
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Man: Called you? No. Who is this?
God: This is God. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Man: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Man: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Man: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Man: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Man: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.
Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Man: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading.
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Man: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, “why me? When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Man: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can’t get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Man: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Man: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a new sense of inspiration.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
Man: Thank you so much.
God: You are always welcome. Have a good day my friend. " Always remember, God's Word is the Word for YOU ".
