A "Selfie" and God!


God
knocks at my door
seeking a home for his son:
Rent is cheap, I say.
I don’t want to rent. I want to buy, says God.
I’m not sure I want to sell,
but you might come in to look around.
I think I will, says God.
I might let you have a room or two.
I like it, says God.  I’ll take the two. You might
decide to give me more someday. I can wait, says God.
I’d like to give you more but it’s a bit difficult.  I need some space for me.
I know, says God, but I’ll wait. I like what I see.
Hmm, maybe I can let you have another room.
I really don’t need that much.
Thanks, says God.  I’ll take it.  I like what I see.


I’d like to give you the whole house but I’m not sure . . .
Think on it, says God.  I wouldn't put you out.  
Your home would be mine                                         
and my son would live in it. 
You’d have more space than you’d ever had before.
I don’t understand at all.
I know says God, but I can’t tell you about that.   
You have to discover it for yourself. 
That can only happen if you let him have the whole house.
A bit risky, I say.
Yes, says God, but try me.
I’m not sure  . . .  I’ll let you know.
I can wait, says God. I like what I see.
