What If God Had An Answering Machine?

Imagine praying and hearing this: "Thank you for calling. Please listen carefully to the menu and select one of the following four options:

Press 1 for a request.
Press 2 for a thanksgiving.
Press 3 to complain.
For all other inquiries, press 4."
You press 1 and hear: " We're sorry. Due to an unusual volume of customer calls, all our lines are currently in use. Please call again later. Your call is important to us."

Or maybe you get this response:  "All of our customer representatives are helping other customers right now. Please stay on the line. Your call will be answered in the order it was received."

Or this one: "Our computers show that you have called once today already. Please hang up immediately."

Or:  "This office is closed for the weekend. Please call during regular business hours, Monday-Friday, from 8:00-5:00."

When you call God, You only need to ring once.  Because of Jesus, you never get a busy signal. The lines are always open. And God takes each call personally.

When God calls you, will He have to leave a message on your answering machine?
