In memory of Leo Ramos
ME: Who am I? Where did I come from? Years ago, I did not exist, or did I? (I am curious).
ME: Why am I here? Who made me? If there is a God then why do people die? (I am sad).
ME: Existing is weird. Existing on a sphere rotating in space around a ball of fire is even weirder! Look how vast the universe! Where did it come from? (I am confused).
ME: God are you there? Why don’t you speak to me if you exist? I pray, but you are silent. (I am angry!)
ME: There is no God. Death is the end of everything. There is no hope. (I am despondent).
UNDETERMINED VOICE: Psst! Look! Try looking over here in the ancient light.
ME: Who was that? That was not me. Is there another realm? (I am spiritual).
UNDETERMINED VOICE: Your searching is over. I AM God.
ME: Who are you?! (I am open-minded).
UNDETERMINED VOICE: I AM all things; I AM the universe; I AM you and you are I: We are ONE.
ME: I’m God?! (I’m skeptical).
UNDETERMINED VOICE: Yes.
ME: If I’m God, there would be no death! You lie!! (I am certain).
GOD: You speak truth. You are not God. I AM.
ME: Who are you?! If you’re God, there would be no death! (I am hoping).
GOD: I am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
ME: Who are you?! (I am listening).
GOD: I AM Jesus.
ME: I believe. Thank you, Lord for revealing yourself to me. (I am born again!).
