God Grants A Wish
A man was walking along a California beach and was in deep prayer to the Lord. He said,
"Lord, you have promised to give me the desires of my heart.
That's what I am asking you for right now. Please give me a confirmation that you will
grant my wish."
Suddenly the sky clouded up over his head and the Lord, in a booming voice, spoke to
him. "I have searched your heart and determined it to be pure. The last time I issued
a blank wish request it was to Solomon. He didn't disappoint Me with his request for
wisdom. I think I can trust that you won't disappoint Me either. Because you have been
faithful to Me in all ways, I will grant you one wish you ask for."
The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go
to Hawaii, but I'm deadly afraid of flying and I get very seasick on boats. Could you
build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over there to visit whenever I want?"
The Lord laughed and said, "That's impossible! Think of the logistics of that! How
would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete, how
much steel! Your request is very materialistic, a little disappointing. I could do it, but
it's hard for me to justify your craving for worldly things. Take a little more time and
think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify Me as well."
The man thought about it for a long while and tried to think of a really good wish.
Finally, he said, "Here's the deal, Lord. Sometimes my girlfriends tell me that I
don't care and that I'm insensitive. So I wish that I could understand women ... I want to
know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent
treatment, ... I want to know why they're crying, ... I want to know what they really mean
when they say "nothing", ... I want to know how to make them truly happy, ...
That's the wish that I want, Lord."
After a few minutes, God responded, "You want two lanes or four on that
bridge?"
