“The Adventures of God, Jesus Christ, and Manuel Jean”
July 3, 2008
Jesus, what if you and I went for a walk out in the rain
And you turned to me and said that you would like to share just a little of your pain
Well my brother I thought you would never say, I have been waiting forever for this day…
Jesus, what if I were to call you up and ask for a minute of your time,
And I cried and said that I was different from the rest like it was some kind of crime
Well, my brother I pray that when I call, that you may come, and I pray that I am not the only one…
God, what if you were to tell me you were through with the way that I live,
Because you have taking some much from an empty world outside, you have nothing left to give…
Well, my father, I have felt the same way too
But you’ve changed me…
God, what if I were to ask for forgiveness for who I was before you broke me down and realized that I am your son, and you love when I am around
I have hidden myself in you and you have made me brand new…
Thank you father and the son for reaching out for me…Manuel the prodigal son…
I am the traveler, who has found his way home…
So many times father I have competed against you and been focused on the score but I could never win…
So many times I have come to you with scars on my wrist telling you this will be the last time you see me like this if you let me back in
And so many times again and again I have fallen on my face, and in my ignorance and humility I have been brought down to my knees…calling and reaching out for you…and you have always let me back in…
You have shown me that it is okay to just be simply Manuel, bringing down thousand foot walls..
You have shown me that I do not need to apologize to you for not being perfect, because perfection is not the key…
Reaching out and saying thanks to you father and the son for letting me back in, showing me the way, and helping maintain my path. I say thanks for blessing my mother with just a little more time on earth, and for helping me over come the disease of Depression. For the entire blessings, gifts, my strengths and redemption over my weaknesses
Amen, and lets continue this adventure of life together…
From The Book: ‘The Adventures of God. Jesus Christ. and Manuel Jean.”
