If I have told you earthly things
and you do not believe,
how can you believe if I tell you
heavenly things?
[John 3:12]
**********************************
"How do I know You're real,
Lord?"

"Because I AM, child."

"Well, yeah. I know.
But, how do I know that
You're just not a figment of
my imagination?"

"YOU were a figment of
MY Imagination, child."

"Yeah. Well, I think You
should have left THAT mess
on Your drawing board that
day, Lord! Hey, You must have
been having a real bad day!"

"No, My precious.
That is not true."

"It's okay, Lord.
You don't have to be
nice to me; it's okay."

"I am not nice, child!
I am Your Lord!"

"Well, THAT's true.
So, eh.........how DO I know
that You're real? Huh?
How do I know, Lord?"

"Do you see Me
with your eyes, child,
or your heart?"

"Well, I guess both,
Lord. I mean, You know
how I feel about Your
clouds......and Your birds.
I look up, and they remind
me of You. But, what
about my heart, Lord?
That has deceived
me, on more than one
occasion!"

"There is only one
deceiver, child.
Read My Word."

"Oh, LORD! IT'S
LATE! Do I have to
go searching in Your
Book, again? Oy!
Alright, alright;
here's something:

The serpent beguiled me,
and I ate.
[Genesis 3:13]

and here:

And the great dragon
was thrown down
that ancient serpent......
the deceiver of the
whole world.
[Revelation 12:9]

I see, Lord."

"And, Who AM I,
child?"

"Well, You imagined
me.........and, then
You became my
Creator?"

"And?"

"And, then........
one day You became
my Savior....."

"In your eyes,
My beloved,
or your heart?"

"My heart, Lord.
I saw You in my heart."

"Read My Word, child.
Who am I?"

"Uh. Well...... it
says right here, Lord.
It says it............
right here."
