Jesus Jelly Beans


Thank you, Lord, for these jelly beans that remind me of your love.
Black represents my sinful heart, keeping from you above.
Red represents the blood you shed to provide salvation free.
White shows the cleansing of my sin as I put my faith in Thee.
Yellow is for heaven above, my new home I'll have someday.
Green is for the growth I will see as I read your Word and pray.
Purple shows you are King of all, the one I choose to obey.
Thank you, Lord, for these jelly beans.
They mean more than words can say.


My aunt gave these to me a few years ago.
I sat them on my dresser. 
They stayed there for weeks.  
One day I was craving some sugar 
So I started to eat them all in one sitting, 
Until I tasted the sin flavored bean. 
That is when I stopped. 
I spit it back in the bottle.
They have been in my studio ever since.
