‘The Glitch’

A short story told to me about a person that had no idea where he was going but ended up doing the works of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He was a soldier in Boot Camp, training to go to war. He was well liked, completed his training passing the unorthodox methods that they used back decades ago to prepare you for an enemy that was worse than their training could ever be.

Upon Graduation Day, everyone got to march proudly in front of all the visitors but him. He was told that you have a ‘Glitch’, in your step when you march and so you can’t be in the parade as it would be detrimental to the other Soldiers and Military Officers who want perfection, when they are under Military Review.

So, this young man didn’t mind as it was for the good of the other soldiers with whom they all shared a comradery! He got to drink coffee in the Mess Hall while this Graduation Parade took place.

During the years after this young man life was saved countless times, he told me that he even remembered being saved from drowning at the age of twelve, when he was all alone dying. Jesus Christ screamed his name in the dark waters of the Thames River, to the child who had frozen in fear, descending in the dark deep waters, seeing only bubbles drifting upward for he knew not how to swim! The name Jesus Called out was “Saul; and Jesus said Saul, close your mouth”, the child obeyed and ascended to the surface to continue in this life!

Saving his life, the lives of his children in the most horrific tragedies that occurred in their lives over the years, he decided to give thanks to God, for all that had been given to him and those he loved!

The moral of this story is the ‘Glitch’ that kept this young man from marching proudly in the Military Graduation Parade, because he wouldn’t look good, opened a new door to where tens of thousands of viewers could now see him clearly through his inspirational writings, those words that can help change the course of their lives to Jesus Christ for spiritual guidance in this physical life that we live and Jesus Christ, the Gate Master to Eternal Life!

Then one day this man who always wanted to be a priest in the Catholic Church, decided to start a Mission. Asking Jesus Christ to guide him in his works, and to guide him in Inspirational Writings. Words of power, inspirational to help, not hinder people to accept, follow, have ‘Faith and Believith’ in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, sent into this world to save it; not to destroy it.

Jesus Christ gave to the world his Teachings of The New Testament, preached, taught His Disciples, and others to preach His Message after His Death on the Cross at Calvary. This beautiful church that Jesus Christ, built from One, is now continuing, bringing men, women, young and old, world-wide for over two-thousand years and its name is Christianity!

Jesus wanted to let them know that ‘If you want to get to Heaven’, ‘I Am the Way’ I am the Path, the Gateway, the only ‘Way’ to Heaven and Eternal Life after death of this physical life that we live on earth!

He also preached His Gospel of Love & Not Hatred, for if you hate, if you can’t forgive others for wrongs against you, how can you expect Jesus to forgive you of your sins! If your Sins are not forgiven, then Heaven will be an elusive haven for your soul!

Jesus said, I Am the Life and the Resurrection; whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Visit: prayerscircle.com
