There's no doubt in my mind Jesus is real. Zero. I'm the first to admit to you and all the world I was blind and now I see. Jesus gave me this vision. My journey began with a prayer for wisdom sometime during my teenage years when I felt like my world was falling apart. I thought I had things figured out and my life was pretty much on cruise control. I was 90% all in for Jesus. The truth is I held on to the other 10% in the area of finances because most of the stories I read about Jesus and money didn't really fit my point-of-view. Why was Jesus always letting go of the money? This bothered me.
Looking in the rear view mirror, my life was 90% amazing and 10% challenging. The challenging part had to do with my poor money management skills. I caved when the last recession hit and I lost all my marbles. It was time for Jesus to take the wheel. No more calling for a part-time Uber driver in times of crisis. I needed Jesus to be in charge 100% of the time. When I finally let go of the money, it was really more about letting go of all the liabilities I accrued because my pesos were devalued all the way to zero. Letting go felt good. I moved over to the passenger seat and watched Jesus wipe out every liability, one by one, until they vaporized into thin air. There's only one obstacle to go – the mortgage. Jesus has the wheel. His foot is on the accelerator and he's driving well over the speed limit. I hear Jesus whispering in his calm, reassuring voice, "let go." My seat belt is buckled and my eyes are wide open. This is a joy ride I want to savor all the way to Heaven. Jesus knows the way, the truth and the life and he will share it with anyone who asks. Have a great day.
