Words of Hope
Before he was married and had a son.
Before he completed his college education. Before he succeeded with a masters degree. Before he had a great career and a nice new house.
He had come to America from central Africa to realize a dream. When I met him he was broken, and in his own words, void of hope. He was out of funds and nearly out of his mind as he tried to cope.
Toward the back roe of a gospel church he sat, at the end of his rope. He had stalled and came to seek and search, not knowing what was next. He was not invisible that Sunday, because God had divised a plan for Kelema.
Earthly tangibles would always be graciously received, but could never suffice alone. The sermon was great, but that Sunday it was not in the sermon. The songs of worship were wonderful, but that Sunday it wasn't in the songs. That Sunday, he needed more, and more is what he recieved from a dear godly woman. She simply uttered words of life, words of faith, and WORDS OF HOPE that changed him forever.
