Stop telling me Jesus wants me to forward this email To prove I love Him. No he doesn't. He told me so. You see I talk to Him every day. All day long, in fact. I don't kneel and pray in the morning Jesus and I have a conversation that has run through my head Since about 1981. In fact, He told me Just yesterday that if you don't stop sending those emails He's going to SMITE you. Just kidding. He said nothing of the sort. But when I get one of those emails He DOES tell me "Love her. She's filled with enthusiasm - and she loves you. This is her way of showing it. So love her back." And I ask Him "Is it okay if I love her back in my way?" And he says "Sure. As if you need to ask." See? That's why I love Him. Well, that and the whole redemption business.
