The Lord has always been with me throughout my life. HE has guidied me never, never learving me. Now that I am an adult, I can clearly see HIS mercy towards me.

HE sat on the stoop as I pass, this OLD MAN; HIS Eyes are on me. I do not know HIM. HE told me to "GO HOME BEFORE THE RAIN". One drop of rain touches my face before I entered my door. A STORM IS COMING. Morning. The storm has passed. A feeling of warmth surrounds me. Still, I see this OLD MAN sitting on the stoop. HE told me to "GO THE OTHER WAY" to work. I don't know why, but I listened. No one's at work; a fire blazing. I pass the OLD MAN this evening. HIS Eyes are on me, my eyes are on HIM. He smiles, I smile. I look into HIS Eyes; HE looks into my eyes AND AT THIS MOMENT I KNOW WHO HE IS!
