The Stranger

By Gerald Sumeracki

I had reached the bottom, my soul was without form, It was void. Depression and fear filled my conscious being. A glimmer of God's life Was all that was left of the promise I had squandered. Then one day a man, stranger to me, Smiled and said "Jesus loves you!" My soul filled with renewed hope. "Someone did care" I mused. The stranger smiled And I confessed my emptiness to him. We prayed together and a warmth filled my being. The Spirit of God came alive in me And brought me new Light! Love is renewed. Thank you dear Jesus for sending me that caring stranger. I live again.
