Short story: Is God the ultimate eavesdropper?

Tweet

John had a dream, where he was walking along a deserted beach, on the sand. After walking for a while, along the sand, John saw two wooden seats sitting, side by side, on the sand, facing the ocean. Feeling a bit tired, John, took a seat on one of them. He sat there absentmindedly, staring out to sea. As John watched the waves coming in gently towards the shore, he saw something else off on the horizon Looking more closely, it appeared to him to be a small boat. John watched it for a while, and he noticed that it was coming closer to the shoreline. The boat beached up onto the sand a bit. A man jumped out, and he dragged it a bit further up. Then he reached into his boat, and he pulled out a large wooden spiked thick stick of wood. After this, he got a wooden mallet, from the boat, and he powerfully drove the spike, deep into the sand. Lastly, this bearded man, who looked to be in his thirties only, got an already looped piece of rope from the boat, and he threw the loop perfectly so that it landed over, and then around the spiked piece of wood, now sitting firmly in the sand. The other end, John noticed, was tied to a steel ring embedded in the top of the side of the boat. The man then left his boat, walked up to where John was seated, and he then sat down in the other empty seat, right next to John. "Hello John," he said. "I have come here to show you this book, and to go over some of the things in it with you." "This book is called, 'the Book of Life'." The man then went over with John, the whole of John's life, beginning from the very day that he was first created, in his mother's womb, his conception day. As he went over John's life, he talked to John about it, and pointed out to John, some areas, where he might have done something different. "Now, this," he said, telling John what might have been a better course of action for him to have taken here, "would have been the most loving thing to have done here, but never mind, you learnt something from the experience anyway; everything serves you, and God, you see." After a few hours of talking and reminiscing, the man then told John, that now, he must get into the boat, and go off with him to another land. It was only then that John realised that he must be dead, and indeed he was. This bearded man was actually Jesus Christ, the only son of God. Now the question here is if God, can record all of this stuff about us in his Book of Life, is God then an eavesdropper, the ultimate eavesdropper? Is God the peeping Tom, at every window? Is God, the silent snooper, in every life? Is God, the spy behind the curtains of life? What is really going on here? The answer is simple. God is in you, so of course, he sees all of your life from his position in your heart, where he cannot leave, because he is the breath breathed into you, the spirit of your life. When that leaves you, your body dies. So, God is there, but he never infiltrates your mind, it is yours alone. All God does is to provide for you the energy of love in your heart, and it is up to your own mind to choose to utilise this energy or not in your life. Your heart and soul records your mind though as all is recorded in the book of life automatically so, not in an eavesdropping way, but in a computer-like way, without any real eyes to it. Only when you die does God present you with your book and you then go over it together. God might appear to be snooping or listening in, but he never is in your life, unless you ask him to be there, but he always appears to you at the end of it, whether you chose him in your life, or not.
