The Stranger Encounter That Changed My Life

Daily writing prompt
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

“For Christ Himself has brought peace to us!” (Ephesians 2:14) That verse describes what felt like to me to be a random meeting of the risen Jesus Christ in the lobby of my college dorm. I had been invited to a meeting of Jesus freaks and when I walked in, I heard a guy talking about how Jesus had changed his life. In an instant something happened inside of me that radically changed my life. I’ve never been the same. All the rest of my life I have been passionately in love with Jesus! He continually fills me with His inner peace and joy. He carries me through my troubles with the power of His presence living within me.

Let Jesus release
His wonderful peace
Deep within your heart.
Let all worry cease.
Learn how to decrease
So Christ can increase
His presence in you.
Let Him forever
Be your Centerpiece
And your life focus.
(John 3:30)

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
