378. On God's behalf

```

I am sick.

But

My God is not sick.

Why is He not sick?

He just can’t afford to be sick.

If He too falls sick

Then who will look after me?

God does not sleep.

But

I sleep.

I sleep ceaselessly.

Why?

I feel that God needs some rest.

He deserves some rest

Since He works so hard

Day in, day out.

I have a sympathetic heart;

Therefore

I feel that it is my bounden duty

To sleep and rest on God’s behalf.
