Here is another conversation, outside the facility ...where they are not called 'clients', but 'children'.

The Sunday school teacher breaks up a tussle between two boys just before class starts.

The two boys involved, Mark and Luke, sit at opposite ends of the table as the Sunday school teacher decides to use this as an opportunity ...of a learning experience.

The teacher glances back and forth between the boys, "Jesus loves each of you.  And he doesn't stop loving you if you do something wrong."

Everyone in the class stares at the two boys.

Teacher: "Mark, do you believe God can be everywhere at the same time?"

Mark (hesitating): "Yes."

Teacher (looking to the other side of the table): "Luke, do you believe that Jesus is with you?"

Luke (hesitates): "Yes."

Teacher: "Luke, do you also believe Jesus is with me, your teacher?"

Luke (answering quickly): "Yes."

Teacher: "Mark, do you agree with what Luke just said ...and can you further say that Jesus can be with everyone in this room?"

Mark (hesitates): "Yes."

Teacher: "Mark, if Jesus can be everywhere at the same time, and can be with everyone in this room ...would you then be able to say that Jesus can be with Luke too?"

Mark looks directly at Luke, as everyone waits for his answer.

Mark (after a long sigh): "I guess so ..."

Teacher (smiling): "How about you, Luke?"

Everyone looks over at Luke now.

Teacher: "If Jesus can be everywhere at the same time, and He can be with everyone in this room at the same time ...tell me, Luke, how does that make you feel now about Mark?"

Luke (looks over at Mark, then directly at the teacher): "My Jesus is still mad at his Jesus."

(The teacher continued to teach how Jesus loves us all, and how we should love one another ...in spite of the disappointment after having been dashed in his confidence, and a bit of pride, that he had thought he was asking some great questions.  After all, it was his place to tell the truth, not concern himself with whether the truth will have its impact at any given moment ...the Holy Spirit will touch each heart as time has it.)

Jesus waits for when we are not mad ...because He is not different the way sometimes we depict Him, and when our heart is settled, He works to bring us to be more the way He would have us be. Some adults even suggest, as if justifying their own behavior, "God knows how I am."  Well, He is the great "I AM" ...and we should focus more on how He is, and how we should be.
