OVERCOAT THE OVERCOAT Sam: Jesus, sometimes it’s hard for me to be kind and loving, especially when I don’t feel like it. For instance, the other day I was sweeping the dining room floor and my younger brother was wiping the tables, and he wiped all the crumbs onto the floor after I had just finished sweeping. Jesus: I understand. You won’t have enough love when these things happen, but that’s why you have Me to help you. I can cover you with My magical love so that all the annoyances bounce off you! Corey, what are you doing?!

OVERCOATTHE OVERCOAT

Sam: Jesus, sometimes it’s hard for me to be kind and loving, especially when I don’t feel like it. For instance, the other day I was sweeping the dining room floor and my younger brother was wiping the tables, and he wiped all the crumbs onto the floor after I had just finished sweeping.

Jesus: I understand. You won’t have enough love when these things happen, but that’s why you have Me to help you. I can cover you with My magical love so that all the annoyances bounce off you!

Corey, what are you doing?!

Jesus: Imagine how a force field works, and you’ll get a good idea of what My love can do. You step into this force field through praise, which then opens up a channel to Me so that I can pour My love on you and around you in greater abundance.

Jesus: It’s better than armor because it not only protects you from the things that people do that annoy you, but it also magically transforms those feelings into thoughts of love and deeds of love.

Thanks, Jesus, for my fun little

brother!

Jesus: That’s how powerful love is. Remember, I am love, and I’m pretty powerful. So the key to having more love is to put Me on, and praise and thank Me right away even when something happens that you don’t like.

Sam: How do I put You on?

Jesus: You put Me on like you would a long overcoat. You don’t just hold the overcoat in your hands, or put it beside you; you have to pull it on so that it can give you warmth and protection.

Jesus: You put Me on by spending time with Me, praising Me, reading and obeying My words, loving Me, chatting with Me, and taking the time to hear from Me.

Sam: That sounds like a lot of fun. … I hope I don’t forget to do those things.

Jesus: Don’t worry. When you forget, I’ll remind you. And when I do remind you, remember that it’s Me asking to spend some time with you, because you’re someone I want to be with.

It was great! Thanks for being

with me!

How was your day, Sam?
