Subject: A Conversation With Jesus
Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting
in my back yard and having a tall glass of tea along with a quiet
conversation with Jesus. This happened to me again after particularly
difficult day.
I said "Jesus, 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 said: "I thought that money was the root of all evil."
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 bad".
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning
question, so I asked it. "Jesus," I said, "what is the meaning of
life? Why am I here?"
He replied: "That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your
heart and is different for everyone. I would love to chat with you
some more, Señor, but for now, I have to finish your lawn."
