Jesus Gave To Me What Drugs Could Never Give

There was a time when I felt so lonely and forsaken. Everything I had was either gone or taken. I lost all hope and had no place to stay. Just trying to get through another day. I thought that drugs would give me what I needed. The “danger signs” in life, I no longer heeded. I soon learned about “joints” and “tricks.” All I lived for, was to get “another fix.” I felt no right or wrong, no guilt or shame. Then one night an “angel of mercy” called my name. “Jesus loves you” were whispered into my ear. Without help-I knew—death was so near! This “angel” gave me a place to rest my head. He seen that I was clothed, bathed, and fed. His words were filled with a message of hope. I soon gave up all of my drugs and dope. This “angel of God” gave me an invitation. And soon I received God's wonderful salvation. I traded my “ashes”for God's mercy and grace. I now have joy in my heart & a smile on my face. God's love can do what no drugs could ever do! He's here right now... He is waiting for YOU!! By Jim Pemberton 2007
