Come Inside

A young woman sits alone on the steps of a church, her heart is so full of pain, she has been through so much. All by herself, and afraid to go in, what will these people think about all her sins. Then out of nowhere, an old lady appeared, and sat down beside her, asking, "why all the tears." The young woman told her about her past, and lost years, and the reason for her pain, and all the tears. As the old lady listened to her every word, they brought back so many memories, as she listened to this poor girl. Then she told the young woman, she was once lost too, but God sent her a miracle, with a heart so true. For sixty years, she had loved only one man, who had a heart full of compassion, and was able to understand. "For the last forty years, he had ministered here, his spirit is so strong, I still feel him here." "My son has taken the ministry now, and he is so excited to be back in his hometown." "So let us hurry inside, and find us a seat, you know, God has a lot of good people in there for you to meet."
