A Spur Line On The Track
A "spur line" on a railroad track
provides a turn in direction for a train.
A"spur line" in someone's life can
give relief from pain.

The point I'm making is that
hope in our Savior, Jesus, is like a "spur".
We can get off on it when we need
to take a break, a detour.

Then Jesus can fix what is wrong
and help us - all who come to Him.
Jesus is there for everybody
He forgives our nature to sin.

I got on the Jesus "spur line"
when I was 28 years old.
Jesus came into my hardened heart
and out went the cold.

I'm praying and staying on this new track
I pray you are on it too.
Yes, my dear friends, come aboard!
Get on the "spur line"  - Jesus is waiting for you.
