If Jesus Was Real

I love to read Jeff's So I Go blog because I get to see Jesus every time I go there. Jeff writes about Jesus as though He was real.

Imagine that. Jesus being real. Hmm...

If Jesus was real, I would have a friend who stays with me in the silence after all other friends walk away. I would have someone to go everywhere with me--to restaurants, supermarkets and movie theaters, even. I would never, ever be alone.

If Jesus was real, I would have true, palpable peace. I would feel secure, even when my life was in the middle of huge storms, because Jesus can calm any storm. I'd hum the little songs which were always in my heart.

If Jesus was real, I would have the kind of joy which showed in my words and on my face, even in the midst of my supposed great problems. I would lean over and listen to Jesus tell me, "Everything is going to be all right." And I would believe Him.

If Jesus was real, I'd have no fear. I would feel protected whenever I drove downtown or walked through crowded places because He would be walking beside me. I would know He is big enough to protect and provide for my family, too. And I just might be brave enough to step out into the unknown.

If Jesus was real, I would never feel frustrated. I would just ask Him why things weren't working out the way I thought they should and then I'd do things His, way, instead, because His ways work.

If Jesus was real, I would have Christmas every day. Oh, not the stressed-out, worldly kind of Christmas, but the kind where I'd awaken each morning eagerly, all smiles, because I'd have more delightful chances to give to others during all the hours ahead. And more--I'd celebrate that Jesus came to Earth and He's still here living in a land of hearts.

If Jesus was real, I would have someone to comfort me when everything was going wrong. He would take me in His arms and stroke my forehead with a warm washcloth dipped in an oil called HopeForABetterTomorrow.

Hmmm... good news! The last I heard, Jesus is real!

Oh happy, marvelous, incredible day......................
