OT Conversations with Jesus

[NewbeeMC9]

(Please move when you deem neccesary)

Many times when I am troubled or confused, I seek comfort in my hammock, sipping on a drink, conversing with Jesus. On one particular day, I found myself mired in self-doubt.

"Jesus," I asked, "why do I work so hard?"

And I heard the reply: "Men find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family. You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather."

"I thought that money was the root of all evil," I responded.

And the reply was: "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is a tool; it can be used for good or for bad".

I was starting to feel better, but I still had a question bubbling up inside of me and could not resist prolonging the conversation, so I asked it. "Jesus," I said, "what is the meaning of life? Why am I here?"

And Jesus replied: "That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your heart and is different for everyone."


          Then Jesus paused before going on. "I would love to chat with you some more, Señor, but I must finish your lawn."
