A Story Of Insperation, He Is Always With Us!

I Am Always Her For Those Who Look For Me!

A minister passing through his church in the middle of the
> day, Decided to pause by the altar and see who had come to
> pray. Just then the back door opened, a man came down the
> aisle, The minister frowned as he saw the man hadn't
> shaved in a while.
> His shirt was kind a shabby and his coat was worn and
> frayed, the man knelt, he bowed his head, Then rose and
> walked away. In the days that followed, each noon time came
> this chap, each time he knelt just for a moment, A lunch
> pail in his lap. Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
> with robbery a main fear, He decided to stop the man and ask
> him, "What are you doing here?" The old man said,
> he worked down the road. Lunch was half an hour. Lunchtime
> was his prayer time, For finding strength and power. "I
> stay only moments, see, because the factory is so far away;
> as I kneel here talking to the Lord, This is kind a what I
> say: "I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY
> I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU
> TOOK AWAY MY SIN. DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT
> I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING
> IN TODAY." The minister feeling foolish, told Jim, that
> was fine. He told the man he was welcome To come and pray
> just anytime Time to go, Jim smiled, said
> "Thanks." He hurried to the door. The minister
> knelt at the altar, he'd never done it before. His cold
> heart melted, warmed with love, and met with Jesus there. As
> the tears flowed, in his heart , he repeated old Jim's
> prayer: "I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY
> I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU
> TOOK AWAY MY SIN. I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT
> I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. ! ! SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME
> CHECKING IN TODAY." Past noon one day, the minister
> noticed that old Jim hadn't come. As more days passed
> without Jim, he began to worry some. At the factory, he
> asked about him, learning he was ill. The hospital staff was
> worried, but he'd given them a thrill. The week that Jim
> was with them, he brought changes in the ward His smiles, a joy that was
> contagious. Changed people, were his reward. The head nurse
> couldn't understand why Jim was so glad, when no
> flowers, calls or cards came, Not a visitor he had. The
> minister stayed by his bed. He voiced the nurse's
> concern: No friends came to show they cared. He had nowhere
> to turn. Looking surprised, old Jim spoke up and with a
> winsome smile; "the nurse is wrong, she couldn't
> know, that he's in here all the while everyday at noon
> He's here, a dear friend of mine, you see, He sits right
> down, takes my hand, leans over and says to me:
> "I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM, HOW HAPPY I HAVE
> BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR
> SIN. ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY, I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH
> DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS CHECKING IN TODAY."
