Yes, I've argued with Jesus before... This was the conversation we, um, had when I was asked to do something that I didn't exactly want to do...
Kloey: "Jesus, are You sure You want me?"
Jesus: "Yes."
Kloey: "But why? Surely there are hundreds of thousands of others who would be a better candidate..."
Jesus: "I have spoken to you."
Kloey: "Yeah, but why? Don't you realize that I'm nothing more than a girl full of silly sally?"
Jesus: "You are Mine."
Kloey: "Well, yeah, but I can't do what You're asking me to do."
Jesus: "Yes, you can."
Kloey: "No, I can't. Didn't You hear me when I said that I'm nothing more than a girl full of silly sally?"
Jesus: "Yes, I heard you when you said that, but I know you, as you are My child. I know what you are capable of doing. Let Me ask you a question. Why is it that you cannot do as I ask?"
Kloey: "Well, Jesus, I, um, I just can't. You know, I might mess things up. I've not been trained to handle things of that nature. What if I said the wrong thing?"
Jesus: "Okay. So, you haven't been trained. There's no time like the present. Also, you won't say the wrong things if you just listen to My words. Don't you trust Me?"
Kloey: "Of course I trust You, Jesus. I just don't trust myself."
Jesus: "If you trust Me, why do you doubt My judgment?"
Kloey: "Well, like I said Jesus, it isn't You. It's me. You know, I make mistakes all the time. Remember the other day when I was upset with Tammy? I could have ignored what she said and did, but did I? No, I didn't. So, You see, Jesus, I'm not the right girl for the job."
Jesus: "You calling me a liar?"
Kloey: "No, Jesus! I would never! I'm just trying to tell You that You're going to want someone else. I mean, I'm too young. I don't have time. People won't listen, Jesus. You honestly expect me to do this, even though I've told You time and time again that I'm not what You need?"
Jesus: "Sarah Leigh, let Me tell you something. I knew you before you were conceived. I can tell you exactly how many strands of hair cover your head. I know everything there is to know about you. That includes your potential. So, unless you wish to continue to call Me a liar, I suggest you get your act together and apply yourself. Do you understand?"
Kloey: "You're not going to relent, are You?"
Jesus: "No, I'm not. I have spoken and you have listened. Now, just accept it and get on with it."
Kloey: "Well, okay! If You're sure, I guess I can."
Jesus: "That's what I thought."
Kloey: "*sighs* Well, since I'm going to do this, I might as well be positive, right?"
Jesus: "Might as well."
Kloey: "Okay, I'm on it!"
Jesus: "I know."
Kloey: "I heart You, Jesus."
Jesus: "I heart you, too."
