There Is Hope In Knowing That You Are Not Alone

May 1998
From: A friend from Israel who knows me as "J"

Hi Here is my story J. About ten years ago I studied the history of Israel in the Roman Empire period.I did it by myself so I could spend more time in things that interested me the most. When I started to learn about the messainic phenomena of these times I read allot in the new testament. The strange thing is that I became emotionally involved and I couldn't rest,seeking for more and more information. I went several times to Jerusalem, walking through the Via Dolorosa going into every church that was built in the places Yeshua stopped , I had to touch every thing as if to absorb something I couldn't name. But I was blind to see the real meaning of it all,and related to it as a very interesting subject to study. Well, three years ago I developed a major depression I knew in my mind that every thing around me was fine but inside I felt terrible, was very ashamed,unable to explain what was going on,felt unloved and most of all lonely to the point that I started to say to myself "its impossible to live this way" In one of the worst episode, I felt like a cover was taken of my eyes,the image of Yeshua came into my mind standing before me with open arms, As a jew I hesitated, but I knew beyond any doubt that it was a safe place to go.In my mind I let him embrace me and let me tell you J never, never in my life I felt such comfort, I knew deep in my heart and soul that the promise of love I am getting is true, I accepted him as my saveior,He accepted me as I am so I was not ashamed any more to tell that I am ill and.started to get medical help . now I feel wonderful I know that he is always beside me,loving me no matter what,He lives through me. Isn't that wonderful?
