A man named Jesus

[Love&Pain]

I sat in my room, all alone, and I felt lost. I got up and walked but I stumbled, I was too weak to take another step. Someone grabbed my hand, I looked up and he helped me up. When I seen his face, I seen light. The touch of his hand healed my broken heart. He whispered into my ear and I felt his words, go into heart and shook. He told me, "I am the light of world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." After he said that, I was blinded by a light and I felt renewed in the mind, body and spirit. As the light dimmed, he was gone. As time went by, I struggled with temptations. I was tempted to give up, I couldn’t pray at night and my mind was chaotic. I tried to pray but couldn’t so I was too angry and frustrated to do anything. So I tossed and turned and was struggling on my own. I was in a spiritual warfare and I felt as if there was no way out. As I lied there, I heard a voice creep up in my room and it was that man again. He was watching me in the dark and he was praying and crying. I asked him what is the matter and he told me, "I stand here in open arms and want to help you but you turn the other way." I sat next to him and he told me, "Knock and I will answer, ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you will find me." "I have been knocking at your door but you do not answer me." I finally had it, I was tired of trying to control my life and I talked to the man. I told him all my fears, worries, struggles, and confusion. He put on a song and told me to listen to the words. I listened and I cried. He held my hand and told me that he is always here for me and I should pray even if I don’t feel like it. I felt his unconditional love and he touched my heart and the devil fled from me in fear. The Lord had saved me a million heartaches, I ignored him but he still saved me because he knew I was troubled. The man told, "I am always with you." "I have great plans for you, plans not to hurt you but to give you hope." He touched my head and a vision flashed through my mind and thoughts. As I woke up from this dream he was gone. As I looked in the mirror, I could see his reflection staring back at me. The next day I walked out and greeted everyone with love. I passed by an angry man and I told him, "God bless you sir." He became even more furious, he walked up to me pulled out a gun and said, "Do you believe in Jesus." "Where is your God now?" I told him "I don’t not only believe in Jesus but I live for him." I put my hand on the gun and gave him a hug, he pushed me away and I ran after him. The Lord was speaking to me to help this man. I caught up to him and he turned around and said, "Can I know Jesus?" I looked in the man’s eyes and I sensed the Lord working in his heart. I prayed over him and he began to weep. We talked for hours and I shared my testimony, the Lord watched over me with a warm smile. I looked up to the heavens and I said, "Thank you Lord for giving me breath and wisdom to help others."The Lord had brought me to him, He gave me love and as this man was saved, I knew that all things are possible through God the father. As we departed the man, jumped for joy with an angel by his side. The angels in heaven, throw a party because a sinner came to the Lord. I walked in the Lord’s footsteps and heard his words throughout our walk together. We held hands and he was never left my side, he is my father and I am in his care.

A friend of mine

I speak the truth, I am walking in the light but there are some days when the light gets dim. It is when I have sinned and man attacks me and leaves all alone, wounded and taken down. I cry out for their help but they turn away from me. I ask them with all my heart to forgive me because I am an imperfect sinner. They look at me with anger in their eyes and they throw dirt at me. I speak the message to them from God but they have closed their hearts and minds. I lay there wounded and put out my arm in pain, and waited for someone to help me up. They just walked by and looked down at me like I am an animal or a beast. I curl up in a ball and a man comes. The man covers me up with a blanket, he lifts my head and tells me, "Drink this water and you will never thirst again." I drank the water and I felt dehydrated and I felt strength go through my body after drinking only a sip of water. He smiled, touched the cross that I wore around my neck and asked, "Why do you wear this cross?" I looked at his loving eyes and told him, "The Lord tells us to pick up and carry our cross daily." "So when I wear this cross, it reminds me that I live for God and God alone." The man told me, "Stand up." I told him in amusement, "I can’t I am wounded." He laughed and told me, "Have faith." I tried to get up but fell down, I tried again, he gave me his hand and helped me up. As he looked at into my eyes, he came and held me close, my heart was racing and I began to cry in his arms. The man put his hand through my hair and said, "The Lord knows your heart, and he has forgiven you but you must accept it." I told him, "I broke a friendship with my friend, she hasn’t forgiven me." The man looked at me, smiled and told me that I have a loving heart. He said, "Go to her because the Lord has heard your cries and has changed her heart." He touched my shoulder and said, "Go from this place and teach the good news." I had excitement and joy in my heart and as I walked down the crowed street, everyone stared at me and laughed. I moved ahead in my weakness and spoke, everyone stopped, turned and looked at me. It was quiet and I said, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." "When you greet someone, greet them in love." "Whatever you do for a stranger, you are doing for God." I looked in the crowd and there was a girl, she was on her knees and praying out loud. I went up to her, went down on one knee and looked at her face. It was my friend who had hurt me. We hugged each other and cried in each other’s arms. I felt a burden being lifted off of me and the Lord had restored our friendship. The Lord knew were not proud but hurt. As time went by, the Lord brought us together and gave us love in our hearts. As we left that day, people were reuniting everywhere and the Lord worked great miracles in people’s lives.
