Dear Old Friend

Linda Louise Johnson
If I asked you to go with me

you would go.

If I asked you to help me

you would help.

Anything I needed

you would give me.

And so I ask

and so I need

you to do one

easy thing

that will cost you everything

and gain you all eternity.

I ask you to ask.

Ask Jesus

to be real in your life.

Just ask. That's all.

Many of us can point to one day in our lives -- one hour -- one moment -- when everything changed, forever: The moment when we asked."Are You real?" "Will You help me?" It doesn't matter how we ask, the answer comes.
