Salvation Stories: Jessie. Free Inspirational Story. Jesus saves

 


Jessie


A mixture of sadness, nostalgia, and loneliness descended on Jessie as she crunched through the autumn leaves in the park. The playground was deserted, and only a few hardy souls had braved the icy wind blowing off the river.

She found a bench overlooking the gray water, and thought how the drabness of everything matched her life. Alone, alone, alone, alone. The word marched through her mind in a melancholy way. If only she had someone to talk to. Someone who would never leave, the way the others had...

"Would you like one of these?" An elderly man with a sweet smile, and a small dog on a lead asked.
Jessie took the proffered booklet.
"It's a tract." The man explained. "May I sit down? I love this part of the park."
Jessie nodded. "You come here often?"
"Yes. Jesus, Benni, and I. And today we found you."
"Jesus?"
"Oh yes," the man smiled, "He lives in my heart and directs my steps. He's the greatest friend a soul could ever have. Is He your friend too, perhaps?"
"No," said Jessie dully, "I don't have any friends."
The elderly man was quiet for awhile. "Well now. That's sad. That booklet explains how Jesus can be your friend if you'll let Him."

Jessie looked down at the little book, and a longing filled her heart.
"My phone number's on the back. You can phone me any time."
"Thank you." Said Jessie, and a feeling like hope lifted the corners of her mouth into a smile.

p.i.H.H


"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His Name."

John 20:31

(Old King James Version)


If you are searching, start by reading the Book of John in the Bible. You may like to download the Bible App if you don't have a Bible. The first step is to acknowledge that you are a sinner and in need of a Saviour. Repent, and trust in Jesus and in His death on the cross to save you. Jesus bore your sin, along with the world's when He died that day. The good news is that He rose from the grave. He conquered death and offers eternal life to all who will believe.

Love and blessings,

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.

Battle. A Free Short Story.

Battle Evil swarmed and swooped thickly throughout the valley. Jonathan's sword slashed to the left and right. Sometimes, it arched through the air above his head, as infuriated hisses and screeches filled the darkness. To Jonathan's left and right, inky blackness was being pushed back by his companions. Stretched across the valley, they marched on, their swords slashing and crashing through the thick air, and bringing limp scaly bodies to the ground. The bright ones could not stop. Victory was not theirs yet, for the evil hordes kept coming. There were more than ever before it seemed, here at the closing of the ages. Jonathan grimaced as a foul creature landed close beside him. It screeched and bared its fangs in final rebellion. But Jonathan kept on. Supernatural strength coursed through his body, as more warriors joined the battle. They were nearing the far side of the valley now. The atmosphere remained black and grim: the battle was far from over. Jonathan's sword coul...

A September Medley

  Psalm 81:3 "Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day." Trumpet A trumpet sounds: A royal din: Our long-awaited Groom steps in. A joyful wedding  song now plays and we will love Him all our days. *** End Times Tales: Every Little Bit Counts. Lisa's father pointed his teaspoon in her direction as his brows drew together gloomily. "What's the point? There are masses of lost people in the city. What can one girl do? Besides," he added more gently. I don't want you getting hurt. People are just plain mean these days." He waved the spoon as Lisa quietly placed her books in her backpack. "It's not the old days anymore. Just like the Bible says, people are proud and boastful; scoffers, arrogant..." "I know, Dad, but I have to try. It's what Jesus wants me to do. There's so little time left before the Rapture." "Like shovelling sand with a teaspoon." Her Dad grumbled. Lisa shook her head...
