Salvation Stories: Gina. Free Inspirational Read. Jesus Saves.

 



Gina


Gina looked around the sitting room, her eyes registering the familiar things: a large flat screen TV, a comfortable loveseat that embraced you as you sank into it, the rug, plants, and paintings, all placed just so.

It was a good life, a happy life. Or was it? She sighed as she gazed unseeingly at the view across town. The emptiness, the nothingness, gnawed at her insides. A hundred questions clamored. She had no answers, but one thing she was sure of: she couldn't carry on like this anymore.

***

"Gina, that emptiness you feel inside, that's the space God wants to fill." Allie took a sip of coffee. "Why not give Jesus a chance?"
Gina added a sachet of sweetener to her cappuccino, and took her time answering. She studied her sweet friend's face. For years, Allie had been different. She shone, she bubbled. She exuded peace. And purpose.
"Allie, I don't know why I'm saying this, but please tell me more about your Jesus. I'm listening."

Dear Reader,

Do you too, feel empty inside? Do you feel hopeless or lonely? Or perhaps you feel that life lacks meaning. You may fear death and wonder what lies beyond the grave.

The best thing you can do is to start searching and asking questions. Don't be afraid to ask the biggest, scariest questions you have. God will answer you if you cry out to Him. He will lead you to His Son Jesus, who is the solution. You see, sin separates us from God and from heaven, but the cross, on which Jesus died, forms a bridge which allows us to cross over.

You cross that bridge by repenting of your sin, turning from it, and trusting in Jesus blood, His death on the cross, where He bore your sin, to save you.

The advice I like to give people, is that they should start reading the Bible at the book of John.

May God bless and keep you,
Alison

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

The Yearning: The Sequel to "The Searching." Free Longer Story

  Inspirational fiction  The Yearning: The Sequel to "The Searching." Copyright: Alison Lawrence 2024. All rights reserved. *** Dedication: To all who are yearning for so much more. *** Chapter One (Author's note: Han is pronounced Hun.) It was only six o'clock in the morning, but Lidda could already feel it was going to be an unpleasantly hot day. She emptied her basket of cabbage scraps into the chicken coop, looking around for Han as she did so. He and his brother Vinny would have finished milking by now. No doubt they’d be in for breakfast soon. Lidda allowed herself a small sigh. She wasn't one to complain, but sometimes, the burden of her workload and of being a young wife rested very heavily on her shoulders. She entered the cool kitchen once more, and stirred the obligatory porridge before starting on the eggs. Her mind drifted quite naturally to Tirsa. Where are you dear one? How I wish you'd come back to us. Lidda missed her quirky free-thinking sist...

Flash Fiction, A Poem, Garden Glimpses, & an Update

  Flash Fiction, A Poem, Garden Glimpses, & an Update In this post: a mini inspirational story, a poem, plus what's up in my garden, and a blog and writing update . A sparrow, yet loved and counted. Photo: Ratanjot Singh.Unsplash. Little One The little one watches from her spot in the old apple tree. She peeks through the canopy of bright green leaves and ruby globes. She watches while resting in shady, cool, calm. She stares at the rushing, busy, blurry people. Where are they going? Why so rushed? People of all sizes and styles, yet all with the same harried, frazzled, furrowed frowns. She cocks her head, then fluffs her feathers: just a little sparrow, yet loved, fed, and counted. While people rush and worry, she lives, and breathes, and feeds, and flies; before she falls, and softly dies.  In Him. *** End of Self Now at end of self, decided: Give my all to You. Lay down each rock, and burden, sin: and start each day anew. *** Garden Glimpses January here in the southern...
