Inspired by a gentle young man,
a wonderful poet on allpoetry
I read his poem Stubborn Pride,
that's how I met live4eternity.
Speaking gently of God's great love,
I began listening to every word,
I was a non believer all my life,
God's voice could never be heard.
We talked through allpoetry comments,
then it was emails and the telephone,
for weeks we would talk for hours ,
then one day I was no longer alone.
God was by my side and in my heart,
tears overwhelmed me for three days,
the spirit of God came into my life,
He began lifting all my burdens away.
Thank you Jason for taking my hand,
you gently showed me to God's door,
now I know God's son died for me too,
I had never felt that way before.
Jason has become another son to love,
his family is so very dear to my heart,
God came into a life full of heartache,
His love gave my life a brand new start.
He keeps inspiring me to learn God's words,
talking on the instant messenger each day,
whenever I need some encouragement,
we call each so we can talk, then we pray.
Author notes
I could never thank you enough Jason. Having God in my life has changed it more then anything else, except for the birth of my children. God's love gives me stength to face each day and what they may bring. God let's me smile again.

as we see God in our friends our heart longs for something more than what we have obtained from this place that we merely exist.
I am proud to know you are born again with the love and forgiveness within your heart.
thank you Jason for opening another door to our savior.
