CONVERSATION POEM

ME:               LORD JESUS, ARE YOU RIGHT HERE WITH ME?
JESUS:          YES, I AM HERE WITH YOU.
ME:               YOUR LOVE FOR ME NEVER CHANGES, DOES IT?
JESUS:          NO, MY LOVE FOR YOU NEVER CHANGES; I ALWAYS HAVE AND I 
                       ALWAYS WILL LOVE YOU.
ME:               BUT LORD, SOMETIMES I'M A MIGHTY MIXED-UP PERSON. HOW CAN
                       YOU LOVE ME? MOST OF THE TIME I DON'T EVEN LIKE MYSELF.
JESUS:         I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL. YOUR INSIGHT ABOUT YOURSELF IS 
                       INDEED LIMITED. I, HOWEVER, LOVE YOU FOR YOURSELF, AND MY LOVE
                       INCLUDES YOUR TOTAL SELF-YOUR REAL SELF, AND ALL OF YOUR
                       POTENTIAL. BELIEVE THIS FOR I AM HERE TO HELP YOU.
