A Conversation with God !!

This was a moment in Church. I was just telling God, about how much I loved this guy, and how much I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, when suddenly I heard a voice, “Okay, suppose I get you both married, then what, what is next, do you plan to convert, do you plan to give up yourself, your beliefs, everything for the sake of him? “

I knew I loved him a lot, but would I give up my religion for him, no, I don’t think I would do it, no, I would not. Then, I told God, “If my love is true, he would accept me, in completeness, without wanting me to change anything, and that includes my religion.”

Then God said,” Hmmm, not bad, okay, fine, the two of you get married, and then you have kids, now what? Would you go to church every Sunday on your own? Would you not want your kids to have the same beliefs as you have? Would you not desire a Christian family life? “

I was clear on that, and so I said, “No, its okay!! I don’t mind going to church alone. My kids can be Hindus.”

God: “Are you sure?”

And then suddenly, I was reminded of my family, how the four of us went to Church every Sunday, and how it added to our family bonding, how we sat for family prayers, how mom taught me to draw the cross on my forehead, the Christmas and Easter celebrations, the Maundy Thursday get togethers.

And now I knew I wasn't sure. Was I ready to give up all of this? Would I be fine with it? Would I reach a stage, where I would regret my decision? Won’t I want my kids to have the same childhood and family life as I did? And I was lost, what am I to do now? I don’t know....

And suddenly I heard God’s voice again, “Are you sure, that you would not mind your kids being Hindus?”

I said, “No, I don’t know!! I ain't sure!!”

Then God asked me, “Now what, so what do you do now, give him up? “

And those very words out of God’ s mouth filled my eyes with tears, and all the beautiful moments I had spent with him flashed in my memory. I loved him, and I have never had a more perfect relationship, no one has ever cared for me more, or loved me better. He was the best thing that happened to me, no, I can’t give him up.

 I cried, I did not know what to do, but those tears just made me realize how much I loved him, and I knew come what may, I would never give him up, even if it means giving up my own life, I would be ready to take that pain for him. I loved, unconditionally, and he is all that I wanted.

And then, I closed my eyes and told god, “I love him God, I know you l handle the rest, because it is you who taught me love!! "
