A man was walking along a California beach and was in deep prayer to the Lord.
He said, Lord, You have promised 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 me a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over there to visit
whenever I want?
The Lord laughed and said, That's incredibly difficult! 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 honour 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. I've been married and
divorced four times. My wives always said that I didn'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 said, You want two lanes or four on that bridge?
