Kirayle (age 10)

“You are so strong My son and My love for you is what strengthens you.”

Sept. 20 (1st time)

Jesus, do you love me?

I love you a lot because I died for you.

Sept. 27 (2nd time)

Jesus, how do you see me?

Kirayle, I see you on the inside but I don’t need to see your outside.

Oct. 4 (3rd time)

Jesus, how much do you love me?

I love you so, so much that I died for you upon the cross.

Oct. 11 (4th time)

I am seeing a picture of me on a boat on the Sea of Galilee that was beginning to sink. Jesus is grabbing my hands and we stood together on the water just as if we were standing on firm ground.

Oct. 18 (5th time)

I see a picture of a train. God sees you as the engine and the other cars are following you. You are on the right track. (Kirayle said afterward that he loves trains!)

Jesus what do you want to say to me?

I am your voice when you can’t talk. I am your legs when you can’t walk. I am your eyes when you can’t see. All that I did for you is because I love you very very much! You are my son for a reason. I would never leave you, never ever. Love can spread all kinds of ways from me and from my heart.

Daveon (age 9)

“My love for you has no beginning and it has no ending.”

Sept. 20 (1st time)

Do you love me God?

Yes I do son.

Sept. 27 (2nd time)

Jesus how do you see me?

You will be a great policeman doing your job and you will live a good life.

Oct. 11 (3rd time)

“I love you son. You are so special to me. I am teaching you to think about me more and more.”

I want to thank you for letting me live for 9 years. Thank you for letting me have all I have. Thank you for my life. You are the only one I need. How much do you love me?

I love you so much that I would die for you again. I will give you all that you need. If you come to Me you won’t have anything to worry about.

I love you so much God that I will stop all the stuff that is not like you. I will try to stop all the bad things.

Oct. 18 (4th time)

What do you want to say to me?

Grow up and be a better man. Have kids and make them to be just like you and make sure that you raise them in the church.

Am I special to you?

Yes you are. You will grow up and be a good man.

Oct. 25

“My son, do not be afraid for I am with you always. You are My special boy. I have great plans for you. I will lead you beside still waters if you let Me. Seek Me before you fall asleep each night. Picture Me and I will speak to you My words of love.”

Jesus what is on your heart for me today? (Note: his 16 mo. old brother is in the hospital with possible pneumonia.)

I know you are wondering about your brother. Know he is going to be ok. Now what is on my heart for you is that you are an intelligent boy, just don’t let the devil mess with your mind. Stay in school and work as hard as you can.

Troy (age 11)

“My son. Do not let the sting of hurtful words shape you. Bring them to Me and let Me remove the stingers. I love you with an everlasting love and My words are gentle and kind. Speak to others the way I speak to you. I have great plans for you, but for now, learn to love others, learn to love yourself and learn to receive My perfect love for you.”

Oct. 4 (1st time)

I saw Jesus today and I walked toward him. He had a scar on his face. He smiled at me.

Oct. 11 (2nd time)

Do you love me Jesus?

I love you son. You are a great son. Keep it up and be good in school. His face was full of laughter when he looked at me.

Menn Menn (age 16)

“Be strong in the things of Me and not in the things of this world. The world – TV, music, other people’s thoughts and opinions – seeks to draw you away from Me. But take heart, My son, I have a plan and a purpose for your life that will amaze you. Look to Me. Let Me direct your ways and I will keep you upright and true and you will be like a beacon of light on a lighthouse. I love you, son.”

Sept. 27 (1st time)

How do you see me?

Be careful and stay out of trouble. Look out for your family. Take care of your grandma and stay out of the streets. Because I am still in your heart you are going to make it to the end. The word in the Bible for you is this: peace be still. Don’t let the devil inside of you and know that I am still here for you.

Oct. 4 (2nd time)

How much do you love me?

I love you so much that I cannot even say it all, son. I want you to write a prayer poem for Me.

I see Jesus with dried blood on his forehead. He is smiling at me.

The Jesus Poem

Jesus you are in my heart.

You are light where it is dark.

I think of you all the time.

It feels like my life is a rhyme.

It keeps going all the time.

It never stops.

It is like a clock.

Tic tock.

I love you God.

Trequez (age 10)

“You are growing up near Me. Stay beside the still waters.”

Sept. 20 (1st time)

Do you love me?

Yes, I love you.

Thank you Jesus.

Sept. 27 (2nd time)

How do you see me?

You are my son.

Jesus you are so great to me. Thank you for everything you did for me and for the city.

Oct. 4 (3rd time)

Jesus said: Hey son, you are great.

Oct. 11 (4th time)

How much do you love me Jesus?

I love you more than my life. You are a great son. Do you know that?

I am your son?

Yes, you are my son.

I love you very much

I love you so very much too.

Antwanique (age 11)

(Her journaling is from two weeks after she invited Jesus into her heart.)

I love you so much.

What do you want to tell me about forgiving others?

I will forgive you for anything if you tell me you are sorry. If you forgive people I will forgive you

back.

I love you so much I will always call to you.

Jesus what did you do this week?

I stood by your side talking to you in your heart.

How loveable am I?

You are so loveable I will be by your side every minute, every hour, every second of every day.
