What if God is Asleep?

If God is Asleep…
Are snow-capped mountains any less majestic?
Are ageless melodies any less sweet to the ears?
Are the embraces of love any less captivating?

If God is Asleep…
Do my words of anger and outrage matter?
Do my aspirations of changing the world matter?
Do my selfless acts of devotion and chivalry matter?

If God is Asleep…
Will my children love me any less?
Will my students appreciate me any more?
Will my friends and family miss me when I am gone?

If God is Asleep…
Can my righteousness take me any higher?
Can my motivation and ambition make me any happier?
Can my weakness make me any stronger?

If God is Asleep…
Is life any less beautiful and worthwhile?
Is there any point in working endless hours on my job?
Is there any reason not to live life to the fullest every day?

If God is Asleep…
What will be our greatest focus?
What will be our most frivolous fear?
What will be our lasting legacy?

If God is Asleep…should we even wake him?
