Jesus This Is Jimmy
Jimmy was a little boy that loved Jesus with all his heart and he
loved going to church. He was always the first one there and set
on the front seat every time church had services.
Jimmy didn’t know how to pray and when the church prayed
Jimmy’s prayer was "Jesus this is Jimmy, Jesus this is Jimmy,
Jesus this is Jimmy", over and over again, and the more he prayed
the louder he got. Well this disturbed the church members and the
preacher.
The Church members went to the Deacons complaining, and the
Deacons meet with the preacher over the members of the church
being annoyed with Jimmy and his praying. They decided to tell
Jimmy that he would have to pray a real prayer, instead of the
prayer he was praying time and time again.
The following Sunday morning before the church services started
the preacher took Jimmy to the side and said, Son you are going to
have say a real prayer instead of saying Jesus this is Jimmy, over
and over.
Then during the church services Jimmy started praying "Jesus this
is Jimmy, Jesus this Jimmy", over and over, and getting louder and
louder again.
After the church service was over the preacher took Jimmy to the
side again and said, Son, the church members are very annoyed
with your praying we are going to have to ask you not come back
to church again. You are disturbing everyone.
Jimmy started walking across the road with a very sad heart, a car
came around the curve out of no where. Jimmy didn’t even know
what hit him, it all happened so fast.
The preacher and all the church members rushed to little Jimmy’s
broken body laying in the middle of the street. They all felt so bad
because of what they had said and done to the little guy. They said,
Jimmy we are so sorry, you can come and pray any way you want
too, please be alright. But it was too late for little Jimmy. They
watched as the life slipped away from him there on the ground in
front of their eyes. Suddenly he took his last breath.
A soft gentle voice said "JIMMY, THIS IS JESUS."
